some of you may not know that i gave barbara the nickname "ageless1der." for years i've been telling her that she should let everyone know her age (something that apparently, women are opposed to generally) because, well she doesn't look her age. she is 73 and had to show her id to get wine served with dinner when she was 68 years old. anyway, barbara competed in the ms senior oc pageant last week, which is the precursor to the ms senior california and then ms senior america pageants. we will be posting a short video, with both of our comments about the ordeal of last weekend's ms senior orange county pageant, but for now here is a clip that appeared in today's globe. our thanks to claire webb for a nice article.
