I'm a happy, quiet sort. I live alone in a 100 year old building that used to be an elementary school. I have a cat named Bowie and we enjoy taking walks together and reading. I read, Bowie listens. A few years ago I was out to lunch with my daughter and ordered a salad. She asked "Is that what you really want?" I said, "No. I really want a cheeseburger, but my diet says I can have salad." She said "Mom, you've been on a diet your whole life. Order the cheeseburger!" I realized she was right. Life is too short. You don't get a second go round. So now my new mantra is 'Order the Cheeseburger!"
