We loved Netflix's re-do of "Agatha's "Witness for the Prosecution." Kept our senior minds focused.

Let's face it, we're all getting older, that's the hard truth not just a rumor -- but if I had known how good the senior discounts were, I would have gotten older sooner.

Sari,

Congratulations on the NY Times profile about you, Oldster and Memoir Land! I was wondering when the Times would get hip to you. Oldster fills a real need and is meaningful to so many of us. More readers deserve to know of your wonderful work, and thank you Kasia Pilat for your lovely profile.

I love that Carol Burnett is still doing interviews at 92! Will check that out ASAP.

Sari Botton's avatar

Me, too! She is a national treasure.

I have lived long enough to face major challenges in life -- relationships, jobs, money. I just never thought stairs would be one of them.

I just started reading you here. I was inspired by the NYT profile of you!! Bravo!! Congratulations! Looking forward to reading more. Funny, I started a blog some years ago called, Spinster Life. It’s on another platform. I share my “stuff”.

About 7 years ago I sat next to Bud Cort at a black box theater production of Uncle Vanya. Apparently we each had friends in the cast. He was friendly and it was an amazing thrill having seen Harold & Maude way too young.

Sari Botton's avatar

Wow! Amazing. Thanks for sharing that.

Transitioning into daylight-savings time is a little like getting older, it just seems to "happen," year after year! I want to share more and tell you about the book, "The Uncanny Grasp of the Obvious" by Scott F. Madey and myself; in this work Scott and I explore finding meaning and joy in later life through creative and mindful approaches, using essays, poems, and stories to encourage readers to see the obvious in new ways and ask, "What might be possible?". It's available online and in bookstores, and builds on our previous work on aging and wellness, focusing on personal growth, self-discovery, and resilience in midlife and older age.

Sounds great.
