I write a weekly Substack blog about my adventures and thoughts as a newly retired but not-dead-yet 64 year old woman. Enjoy my latest, about a quick but eventful trip to Chicago.

I'm almost to the point now where the Eagles are one of my favorite teams.

Howie Roseman says the #Eagles won't even scout players who have ever been violent with women:

“I won’t even watch them. I don't even want to talk. I can't go 'He’s really good, he did it 10 years ago and he learned from it.” It just doesn't work for us."

I may be retired but I still have something to say. Here's my launch on Substack of Short Attention Span Adventurer, 500 words or < on whatever happens to be on my mind. This one is a soft launch in a lot of ways: Why I moved from DC to Phoenix. Free!

Deeply grateful to receive the Chairman's Medal at my 190th & final Commission meeting as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Director of Media Relations. It's been a privilege these past 17 years to work on the FERC mission & vision & to work hard to explain what FERC does in Plain English.
