"Shortly after my retirement, I was surprised to find myself a 'bag lady'--not the sort that pushes grocery carts through parking lots, but an upscale, self-actualizing one born of my desire to participate in the different activities and opportunities Sun City Hilton Head offered. ... The 'bag lady' as described above was the first essay to appear in my column, 'Wrinkles in Paradise, ' in the local paper, The Island Packet, and I was deluged by readers who identified with me and saw the humor in my struggle. Since that first essay in March, 2008, I have written a monthly life style column that focuses on the humor, beauty, realities and reflections of getting older. Wrinkles in Paradise is a compilation of these vignettes."--
