Birthday Advice: My first book was published when I was 65, my second at 66, & my first short story at 67. Today is my birthday & I'm looking forward to what 68 brings. My advice? Never tell yourself you are too old to write. Never give up. Writing is ageless.

Perfect example of how art making is something that older people can do, and do very well, no matter when they begin. Where’s the “100 Over 100” List? #neverTooLate #creativeAging H/t @StopFollowingMe – at Tuckahoe, NY

Why are people mad the Wordle guy got paid? Pay the sweet Wordle man! Give him jewels and gold for his glorious letter squares! He got less than half what it could have been worth in a bidding war and he kept it a free game. Shower him with champagne and furs!

I was picking up a prescription at Walgreens today & a young guy in front of me said he couldn’t afford his diabetes test strips. They were over $200 (with insurance). I paid for him. My heart breaks for anyone not being able to afford medicine. That’s inhumane.

Are you isolated, lonely, both, or something else?
Now's the time to increase our loneliness literacy which can improve mental and physical health!
