I Saw Myself!!

Revisado: 04-23-25

I’m now 80, but back when I was 40 something, just getting a divorce, I had dreams of finding a connection on the internet. The experience was frustrating, many men in their 40’s and 50’s were looking for 20 somethings. I had Master’s and a good job — and a 19 year old who was either looking for a mother figure or sugar mama, contact me. Then several months into this effort I had the perfect man contact me. He wrote like someone well educated, claimed to have a respectable job and we exchanged emails almost on a daily basis. It was fun, and I grew to look forward to those discussions. But, like in this story, excuse after excuse, to avoid getting together. After about 2 months — I discontinued the conversation and the dream.

Captivating

The story of my own struggles. However, the chapter about a generation of “Connie’s” was moving and made me realize in all our small ways, we laid the groundwork for future generations to have the ability to chip away male dominance.

This Democrat Learned Details Don't Make Job Easy

Revisado: 01-22-25

"The Devil Is In The Details" -- and John Sullivan helped me underhand how detailed and difficult being a Department of State, Deputy Secretary and Ambassador. is. A personal view, with all its frustrations like getting Embassy plumbing accomplished, as well as trying to negotiate with the Russians, made for a fascinating read.

Democracy In Peril

Revisado: 12-30-23

Liz Cheney is from Republican royalty whose roots in the party go back generations. I’m more liberal and don’t find myself agreeing with many of her policy views. But her passion and concern for the rule of law, the constitution and maintaining freedom rather than pandering to a potential dictator is admirable. She has sacrificed much, to document this administration’s destructive behavior and help us all understand the crossroads in history in which we stand. Her passion and sincerity come through in the reading of this book.

Good Summer Reading

Revisado: 06-18-23

What’s not to like about this book. The primarily character and storyteller is a courageous woman. A handsome man who is loyal and passionate. Enough excitement and plat twists to make interesting. Not real introspective, but good summer reading.

A well done history and character study

Revisado: 03-19-23

I grew up in Detroit and
As a schoolgirl, toured the Rouge plant on a ceiling catwalk. Also walked Greenfield Village several times. This book gave insight into so much of what I experienced as a child.
