We are not ancient marjorie, We are just going from Age-ing To Sage-ing. I think we are on to a profound new vision of growing older. Contrary to conventional thinking, aging is a great success, a result of strength and survivorship.

Thank you all.  I certainly don't feel ancient - just my sense of humour!

I like Rita's "Age-ing to Sage-ing" - must remember that!

And yes Cathy of course there were some lovely songs - just not No. 1 records.  I think I'll choose The Way You Look Tonight. :)

 James how nice of you to remind us of such beautiful music. I enjoyed, Thank you so much. Stardust by Artie Shaw is one of my favorites. It brings back lots of beautiful memories for me.

Marjorie i also like The Way You Look Tonight. Great stuff.
