I celebrated a birthday earlier this month, and I’m officially halfway to 70. I see my future Golden Girl self on the horizon, and I’m not mad about it. (I’m a Sophia, but less racist.)

My 30s have been great so far. Since entering this decade of my life, I’ve gained about 10 pounds…of wisdom. And speaking of pounds and wisdom, this year I wisely requested a quarantined birthday featuring pizza and cookie cake at home with my wife (a combo Blanche/Dorothy), and it was everything I could have wanted.

If you’re looking for a dress that doubles as a parachute or small tent in a pinch, I’ve found the garment for you. After all, if 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that you must be prepared for anything.

Luckily, I was able to stick to using this dress for its intended purposes while visiting the Indianapolis Museum of Art earlier this month. I know most people miss things like restaurants and parties and their families or whatnot, but me — I mainly wanted to be reunited with walls full of beautiful things. If any of my local readers have been thinking of returning to the Newfields campus, I highly recommend it. Everyone wore masks, there was plenty of space, and I felt totally comfortable. And the current Edward Hopper exhibit is quite apropo.
