When the latest issue of the AARP magazine arrived I did a double-take. I took a picture of the cover and posted it to Instagram. I wrote, “This is So Very Wrong. (Or maybe it’s just depressing…)”
My friend Fran responded, “Both/And.”
Exactly, Fran, exactly.
I live with my wife Terry in Hemet, CA, which is in the San Jacinto Valley, on the eastern edge of Southern California's Inland Empire. We both terribly miss Tasha, our beagle-border terrier mix whom we had for fifteen years and who lived to the ripe old age of sixteen.
I am actively engaged in freelance writing along with web development and management. Details are on my web site: http://mikecwebandwriting.com/.
This blog is about the personal side of my life. I love my Kindle iPad app, working in the kitchen, watching cooking shows, and writing this blog. I am an Episcopalian and am happy to be a member of Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd here in Hemet.
my point being 
Oh dear – I’m with you and Fran –
