The Senior Moment has become the Google moment, and it has a much nicer, hipper, younger, more contemporary sound, doesn't it? By handling the obligations of the search mechanism, you almost prove you can keep up.
Nora EphronWe have a game we play when weโre waiting for tables in restaurants, where you have to write the five things that describe yourself on a piece of paper. When I was [in my twenties], I would have put: ambitious, Wellesley graduate, daughter, Democrat, single. Ten years later not one of those five things turned up on my list. I was: journalist, feminist, New Yorker, divorced, funny. Today not one of those five things turns up in my list: writer, director, mother, sister, happy.

Nora EphronEverybody dies. Thereโs nothing you can do about it. Whether or not you eat six almonds a day. Whether or not you believe in God. (Although thereโs no question a belief in God would come in handy. It would be great to think thereโs a plan, and that everything happens for a reason. I donโt happen to believe that. And every time one of my friends says to me, โEverything happens for a reason,โ I would like to smack her.)
