Thank you for shouting out my recent Substack about peering into the future and wondering aloud, โ€œWhoโ€™s going to take care of me?โ€ As our generation looks after aging parents itโ€™s a natural query, especially for those of us without kiddos. I donโ€™t pretend to have all the answers but I am glad to have opened up a dialogue on the topic. Appreciate your leadership in this space and your support!

Love these recommendations. I just did my Substack on film recommendations, ones most people havenโ€™t seen but are too good to miss. Here are mine. https://open.substack.com/pub/bonniegarvin/p/under-your-radar?r=1lsqa7&utm_medium=ios

Love these. I just did my last Substack about films that likely not bypasses your radar. Check it out.

Thank you, Sari, for including me in your most excellent weekend roundup. What excellent company (love that the word "oldster" is in the crossword)!!! xoxo

My pleasure, Kera! That was a cool thing! So many people contacted me to tell me about it. That was fun, too.

Sari, i think the NYT X-word puzzle with blue clue would make a great and unlike most, subtle T-shirt. It would be fun to redesign as well. If you donโ€™t have enough to do. โ€”IE

Have just discovered this site, and while I wouldโ€™ve previously cringed, if anyone had called me in an old stir in this Substack, it feels more like hipster. I am 82 years old and willing to do an interview anytime you want. My new book is called becoming a Badass: from fearful to fierce available in paperback Kindle or audiobook at AMAZON, Barnes & Noble or wherever you get your books it deals with a problem of aging of divorce of love of dysfunctional families of escaping to Paris of playing with a big boys like Michael Jordan and Whitney Houston and Francis Ford Coppola and a whole lot more. Itโ€™ll make you a happier, funnier more informed person.

TGIF means Oldster round-up! Yay! Happy Halloween, Sari. I'd LOVE to read the Will Shortz questionnaire, btw. Ask!
