My New Vlog
If you had asked me five years ago whether I would be doing a vlog at my age, I would have laughed. But when I retired, I felt the call of the camera once again and thought “I can do that! I can be a vlogger.” But here’s the thing. I never thought I would have to become a one-woman production band.
Here’s what it takes: I first search my living room, bedroom, office and kitchen to find a relevant background. I position a light and set up my iPhone camera on a tripod and check the sound and video. Then—one more important step before I start— hair and makeup… in my bathroom.
Let’s not even talk about editing and posting. (Secretly, I love the whole process.)
I’m proof you can teach an old beeatch new tricks!

Men Exposed
Hello Everybody. I have something to say about the exposure of male genitalia. I can’t believe that I just said that and that I’m going to talk about it. But someone should. And since I’m a wise old woman, it may as well be me. I was reminded of the issue when...
Trumpers Are Scared People
Hello Everybody. I have something to say not about Trumpers but to Trumpers. And Trumpers would be the almost 50 percent of Americans, who incredibly support Donald Trump no matter what he does. And it includes just about every Republican in Congress who...
