 Could you add me in to please Sheryll? It's January 4th. I will be
thirty next year and probably feeling old and needing lots of friends.

Carol responds:
Thirty's not so bad. In fact, you can finally feel grown up and
understand that the teenagers who think that anyone over thirty is
"old" are suffering from a delusion. If you start thinking of yourself
as already being thirty a month or two in advance, when the Big Day
comes, yu're already used to it. Just a matter of training the mind.
Really. It worked for me, and, as Brett Butler said in her defunct
sitcom, "Pushing thirty? Honey, I'm trailing it behind me." In my
case, way behind me.

Carol, who knows you're not supposed to pull your grey hairs but
pulled three of them today anyway
