Olympic DistractionsIn spite of the fact that I still can’t breathe through my nose, my muse returned today and allowed me to get some writing done. I’ve added another travel page to my website and have one more nearly ready to go. My favorite spectator sports are figure skating and ballroom dancing.

However, I’ve always considered 3 and 7 to be lucky numbers for me. Several combinations of those numbers have been good years for me. Most recently, when I was 73, my book, Find Romance… click here to continue February, 13th, 2006 |
