Martin L called day before yesterday to ‘check up on me’ post-birthday, and at some demi-lull in the conversation asked with a little earnestness in his voice: ‘How do you feel about being 70?’
‘The Sands of Time’? I replied that any meditation on that had been so tainted by the Trump disaster that I didn’t really have an answer.
This morning Will W sent me this lengthy psychoanalytical piece on the new President. George S had stated it somewhat (!) more succinctly several months ago in a phone conversation: ‘He’s a damaged child’.
Does any of this insight and understanding do us any good? Now?
Well. In an attempt to balance the previous angst, I offer the above [click the picture] which I hope does not fall into the ‘puppies & kittens online’ category. And, before someone says it, yes, I know that’s a bear.
Stephen ran across this last evening and passed it along to me, knowing how much I love to watch ‘the mature’ dancing. The ‘bio’ reveals that he’s 50, gay, and had several nifty careers in NYC before becoming a ‘farmer’.
Old MacDonald blossoms? Uh, no. Club time.
If that sounds snarky, it’s because he’s stolen all my moves. Well, some of them…

Nothing like a sexy older bear moving….. in a barn or elsewhere for that matter.

I do hope that being 70 is not causing you too much angst???? For some reason it hasn’t bothered me that much except that I’m not asked for ID as much now as I was in the past – though it did happen the other day. Bless the clerk!

If I were you take my advice and never dance in a pair of Wellington Boots (as we call them over here). It spoils the cut of your jib. No matter what age you are.

I’m in Sharon Springs every summer on my way to Cooperstown, NY for the Glimmerglass Opera Festival. Lovely town and I sometimes meet friends there for brunch at the Beekmans’ place. This guy has the moves and is a looker.
