High schoolers today

I helped to judge a high school business competition today. The students were presenting an rFP as ecotourism sales people to us as principals. These students were thoughtful hardworking cognitive and driven.
It is good to know there are potential young leaders in the wings and that I can support their efforts.

Sex

cThere is no way to make baggy knees look better without wearing spanx* and god only knows enjoying the look of a nicely made man as he walks by and relish the memories .

Searching for the Secret to Waking Up Early

Longreads

I abhor waking up. Every morning, I silence the first of my iPhone’s three alarms (set for 5:30, 5:45, and 6 a.m., thanks to the fact that I work East Coast hours from the West Coast), bend myself reluctantly out of bed, pick crud out of my eyes, and try to convince myself that today is going to be the day I become a morning person. It never works, though—in part, I suspect, because I’ve never learned the proper methods.

Wine women and song

May your wine be fermented not vocal
May your women be friendly and local
May your song be harmonic and
May 2015 be iconic!

May over 50 be spifty
May your peeps be gifty
May your wrinkles be earned
And your lessons well learned.

My best! Diane +50

New Years resolution to being over 50

I will not wish I was 40 again
I must remember hindsight is 20/20

I will not gesture to car drivers less talented than myself.
While I can not forget those who have wronged me I will still wish them peace.
And I will lose 10 pounds.

Please share your list with me.
