This time it was Hansel and Gretel, so we had lots of little kids in the audience, and a few onstage (the gingerbread children, remember?). The next ballet will be Nutcracker.

Isn't it wonderful to be a writer and just keep going as long as you have the interest and energy? No mandatory retirement age for us!

Of course these are themes that I, as a mystery author and boomer at the group's leading edge, am facing too. <br />So many books delve into lives of the young and so few on the aging.
