I read that some gay/lesbian leaders are calling Obama’s action to provide benefits for same sex federal employees “too little too late.” Oh, give me a break. Women and Blacks and Asians and Hispanics and immigrants and refugees have been dealing with discrimination here in the U.S. for centuries, and they have not complained that bits of legislation or laws or rulings or whatever were EVER “too little too late.” Rather they are steps in the right direction, even if they are baby steps. Get a grip.

This blog was originally titled "Drifting Toward Planet Elderly," and it shared a journey I had with my elderly parents as they both finished their lives battling the complexities of dementia. After both passed on, I changed the title to "Living on Planet Elderly." I am a retiree who is reluctantly adjusting to the reality that she is now elderly. In July of 2021, I relocated to Middleton WI after living in Columbia MO for over 40 years. I'll go back and visit friends and family in Columbia, and I hope they will visit me. I decided that I want to experience a new and vibrant location in a cooler climate with lakes...a bucket list item of mine. I have a first cousin who lives in Madison. We have nice childhood memories, and it will be wonderful to spend some time together as elders. A new chapter begins. It's my last chapter.
