  • Interesting

    I’m a big fan of Michelle Obama and now of her brother Craig as well.

    The episode about aging for women in this society was very interesting but we need to keep in mind that these ladies, while they may not all have come from privileged backgrounds, have now for quite some time lived a very privileged life and that affects aging, too.
