My friend, Dara, just wrote asking about plastic surgery here… "for a friend," she said. Right. It’s ok, Dara. Trust me, I understand. Actually, since Dara is still in her 30’s and gravity has not yet begun it’s most serious work on...

Hal says this is definitely not an improvement. Not yet, anyway. I can see past the swollen, bruised, sutured eyes and see the beautiful young me lurking underneath. I look better already! You can see it too, if you squint. And, of course, that’s all I can do....

No, this isn’t my Halloween costume. Although it’s pretty scary. To me, anyway. Whatever happened to that cute aerobics instructor who used to appear in my photographs? I know she’s in here somewhere. Yesterday, I went looking for her at the...
