Do you have any dates circled on your August calendar? Maybe the day you leave on vacation? Or the date of your root canal? Perhaps you have August 3rd circled to mark National Clean Your Floors Day or the 14th for National Tattoo Removal Day?

Dear Readers,
Do you have a favorite flower? Mine is the lilac, and judging by the size of the crowd at the UW Arboretum today, a lot of people are partial to this lacey, delicate, fragrant, pale purple blossom.
The troubles with technology
Dearest Readers,
I am sure we can all agree that advances in modern technology have made life easier for us senior citizens. For example, we can have hip replacement surgery this morning and compete on Dancing With The Stars tomorrow night.
The interrupted lives of the snowmen
Dear readers, I always enjoy the first snowfall of the season when I take my morning coffee into the living room, pull back the curtains, swivel the easy chair to face the picture window, and settle in to wait for the morning recess bell.

Those magic words
Dear Readers,

The old-age test
Dear Readers,
Finally! A more reliable way to tell if you have arrived at old age!
A September Psalm
Dear Readers, Are you partial to poetry?
