March 19: Arrived @ LAX. My 94 yr old StepDad was in ICU. He’s my rescue Dad! My Mom was older, he was 15 yrs older than me. A cool handsome young Dad & body surfer my gal pals envied. Once an only child, I have siblings that are the same as my own. We gathered as he passed peacefully on March 28.

Fifty Shades of brown: I’m trying different temporary hair colors as I go from white/grey to light brown. Luckily the color fades with each wash, so it’s always a fun slow change before new application.

Feb 12: After being called an old lady w/ white hair in Bristol Jan 17, I dyed my hair brown. I can’t change being an old lady, but perhaps when I’m dancing with folks 40 years younger, they won’t realize I’m old enough to be their grandma👵 Still trying different shades of brown.

Jan 17: Bristol UK. At jazz club on amateur comedian night. At intermission MC mentions loud talking white haired old lady in the back! I am hard of hearing & had drunk a beer. Embarrassed & emboldened I said “Give me 2 min. I’ll make them laugh!” Some said I made their night. I am a storyteller!
