Mary Beth is sixty.
Wow!

Seems young, but
she’s watchful as
if sixty is some kind
of new territory, a
separate universe,
a breaking away
from all that con-
fusion and in-
fusion of work
and play and
when you can
get it relax-
ation and other
ations.

Take deep breaths,
Mary Beth...
ease into it...
and know it’s,
as they keep
saying,
better than
the alt-
ern-
ative.
