At 65

Where is my rocking chair? Today I am officially a senior citizen. I am in Miami and they used to call this G-D’s waiting room. Now I am one of the oldest on the beach.

In the world of the Internet, there is no such thing as old age. The people I talk to everyday on the net don’t see me in terms of years I have spent on the earth. I can pretend to be anyone I want to be behind the keys of my computer.

But my mirror knows exactly how old I am. There are days when I don’t recognize myself. I see spots and lines I never saw before and I swear my neck is getting lower than the bottom of the mirror each time I look.

I received 130 wishes on Facebook. I also have several texted messages from friends who were driving in their cars. Hope they arrive safely. Hmm.

Whitney and Eliot bought Madonna concert tickets for tonight. We are on a concert roll. Last night she didn’t perform till 11pm for a 8pm show. The crowd almost walked. Let’s see what happens tonight.

I got an iPad mini for my birthday. I have to say I will probably never use the bigger iPad again. It is just like having an iPhone on steroids. Everyone who has a Kindle or Nook knows that the mini size is just perfect. The iPad mini has all of the same functions as the original iPad but it is weighs much less and is easier to carry around. Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal did a complete review of it with every detail
you would ever want to know. Click here.

There were many people who were critical of Steve Jobs that he didn’t go to the mini size immediately. Sometimes you just have to start bigger to get it right. This is perfect. So, if you are thinking of buying an iPad get the mini. The larger sizes might go away forever.

This old lady needs to take another look in the mirror before we go out to celebrate the big 65. Boy do I have guts!
