[…] That’s the mantra you’ll hear if you go to Titanic Belfast. I’m no expert on the sinking, so I have no opinion on why the ship went down, other than that pesky iceberg, but I like Belfast’s boldness. With Titanic Belfast, the city turned tragedy into tourism. Some people might call it crass commercialism. I call it owning your pain. And if you make a small profit from the sale of Titanic Tea, well, call it restitution. Or poetic justice. […]

The conversations that must take place at your house…. I love this. And I’d really like to read the first submission for the Senior Ladies. Perhaps Sara will need to learn to play bridge.
L. L. Barkat says
Don’t you worry. The Senior Ladies will get their day 🙂
Yes, the conversations at our house are… unusual.
Maureen Doallas says
Never underestimate the pinochle players!
Reno Lawrence says
Just very cool, with clever wit! enjoying each one.
Monica Sharman says
Is 39 old enough to join the Senior Ladies?
My favorite illustration is the 2nd frame. Amazed me again.
L. L. Barkat says
Nah. These ladies will be in the 100-cats stage, I think 🙂
Stereotypes!! Needed for humor 🙂
Louise Gallagher says
Fun!!!!

Love this – though I am just a wee bit sensitive about the ‘senior’ label. Funny how no matter what age you are, everybody older than you is suddenly ‘senior.’ It gets redefined with each decade.
L. L. Barkat says
Ah yes, Diana!
The fun thing is, after all, that Sara actually prefers senior people. Always has. She loves the wisdom and stories that are not yet hers. She loves just listening and taking things in. When she is 80, I expect she’ll be avidly sitting near the 120-year-old, saying, “Tell me more.”
Shirley says
Just you wait, Sara, you’d be amazed at the poetry overflowing
from the accumulation of years on this earth. We’re not getting
older, we’re getting better. Lordwilling, you will too! Keep writing
and drawing!
Megan Willome says
I think Sara has been jumping into my life and turning it into a comic. 🙂
