I'm not sure what I think of this. My mother is a PROUD AARP member, whipping her card out to get a dollar off here, three there wherever she goes. But Mom is 76. I'm......not. But I am of AARP age. Natalie Cole is on the cover of my first issue of AARP Magazine, and her beautiful, young looking... Sign in to see full entry.

Got Great Deals, From the Cheap Chick
This new blogging world is taking on a life of its own. I find bargains everywhere by chatting up shopkeepers, restaurant managers, pr people.

Cities on the Cheap; a great site, no doubt and one that I'm proud to be part of. I'm planning to set up my own with Connecticut cities, which will be linked to this main site created by Jennifer W.

My Sights on Publishing
These are tough times for print journalists. For the first time in years, I've finished a bunch of assignments without anything else in the pipeline. Nada.
