    Update: I found MC through MK. And seeing MK become so unhinged, I’ve stopped listening to MK after 20 years and I even bought her book. I’d like to listen to Maureen and Link but it’s hard knowing in doing so I’m lining MKs pockets and I no longer support her views.

    ORIGINAL: Really like Maureen and the creativity she brings but I do agree with other reviewers that it’s getting pretty dark in here. Still listening for now.

A 75 year-old man is OLD (!) unless he is physically active and has made the effort to be interesting, engaging, and soli... more
