Sitting down with Tom Hall, Sarasota Film Festival (SFF) Director, is like sitting down wrist deep in buttered popcorn. As the film credits open you clairvoyantly know, “this is going to be good!”…and it was. “At 7am the alarm goes off, my five year old smacks it off and doesn’t wake up his grandma. School […]

Don’t go looking for the Denny’s Seniors Specials on Anna Maria Island. Anna Maria is located 10 miles north of Sarasota on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Years ago, when the rest of Florida got the message about endless lines of condos, high rises, and chain restaurants, AMI was entirely too busy picking sand out between her toes to notice. Now, she lives in some kind of magical time warp, consisting of funky cottages and restaurants, small scale motels, and a popular vintage mobile home park alleged to have been built to be the winter housing for the Ringling Brothers circus employees.

Laurie’s life has involved a lot of reinvention. Now, at age 60 plus, she has done it again. New location. New job. New relationship. New healthy lifestyle. She has embraced chaos, change, growth, and grey hair with equal abandon. The only thing that Laurie will never reinvent is her sense of humor. Thank goodness for that.
Perhaps I’m a little overly-concerned with the condition of my brain, but it’s scary to think that you could be entering full dementia and even your best friend might not tell you. Ask me the words to all the songs in the 60’s and 70’s and who played what instrument in what band and I would be the music version of Jeopardy’s Grand Champion, but please don’t ask me what I ate for breakfast because I can’t remember. And I don’t feel like digging in the trash, thanks.
It seems irresponsible to do nothing and not worry about whether you’re taking the right supplements, doing all those clever puzzles that Dr. Daniel Amen sells as part of his brain longevity infomercial on PBS, or reading enough material to keep neuroplasisity occurring ini your brain. I speak to my friend Liz every day. I report to her what’s going on, fill her in on anything controversial, and every single time we speak she says “you already told me that twice.” Then I start getting paranoid that I’m really losing it. And then there are the “talks” I have periodically with my significant other. Or are they lectures? (and should I be taking notes?)
