I never remember reading a presidential exit interview like the one, Doris Kearns Goodwin, a  well-known presidential historian, just did with Barak Obama in the November issue of Vanity Fair. It was the last feature in the magazine  that month. 

I wish I could share the “Audible  link” to this interview with you because Obama really spells out what it’s like to be President of the United States. I wanted you to hear his voice. You’ll just have to read it in.print as he talks about “his ambitions, frustrations, and the decisions that still haunt him.”

I saw these posters on social media several times this week and wanted to share them with you because many seniors have trouble sleeping. Over the years, several friends told me they got a better night’s sleep if they felt like they had a security blanket on them. Check with your doctor. It works for me. 

These posters were captured off of a slide show. If I can find the source, I will let you know. Weighted blankets are sort of like chicken soup. It works wonders for some. 

My family is so grateful to my cousin Vicki Morman for notififying us on social media about the status of her nephew Justin Young who attends Ohio State University. By now, you all heard about the stabbings on the campus of Ohio State University. Thank goodness Justin was safe inside his frat house at the time of the incident. Amen! 

If you didn’t see 60 Minutes Sunday night, make sure you get a copy of it. There are a significant number of folks with Alzheimer’s (at an early age) in Medellin, Columbia. A certain mutation has been identified. Click here to read more about what 60 Minutes discovered.

 Buying A Ferrari On-The-Spot 

​

​

This epitomizes our week in Los Angeles. I just witnessed, a young guy, buying a Ferrari for cash, right from my hotel window at the Mondrian. I checked with valet. This was not a rental, but a cash transaction with witnesses to inspect the interior, exterior, and paper work. The staff says this is not uncommon here. Lucky girl friend sitting on ledge, swinging her dancing legs. DigiDame captured rare sighting.

Long Live 301

Our hotel room number was 301 at The Mondrian in Los Angeles. This is extremely significant since it was our address for 40 years in Manhattan. 301 East 62nd St. We loved it. Our lucky number.

 

Thank you for taking us down this nostalgic road. This is a 3 minute video slide show, and worth the time it takes to watch it. If you lived during the 1950s, you will recognize the pictures.

Enjoy!
