I wonder what it's like to be an old woman. There were four of them sitting with tea cups attentively in front of them. Only one of them talked. The others sit and nod. "...Well, Mother wouldn't have appreciated what I said next..." They smile big white grandma smiles. One of them, less veiled, than the others fades out, looking just a little more to the left and a downward, thinking about something very different then the rest. She rests her hand on the table holding the tea cup like the rest, sitting up just like the rest, smiling and nodding like the rest, (a little late but still within the bounds of polite company) but it's clear she is not in the same place. I'm not sure if she was sad, but whatever she was feeling it was subtle.
The woman talking seemed pleasent enough, she talked through three entire Philosophy articles.
Today's Song of the Day is "I'm a Woman" by Jim Kweskin & the Jug Band (featuring Maria D'Amator) of their 1965 album "Jug Band Music."
Crazy Fact: Jim Kweskin travelled throughout the United States from 1959-1962 collecting songs and put together the first incarnation of his Jug Band when he returned to Boston in 1963.
