msmeta’s musings on the meaning of life at middle age — and beyond.
I, msmeta, am a middle-aged, middle-class, middle-brow writer, reader, wife and mother languishing in a dusty corner of the Great American West. I have spent several years lurking online, but I'm ready to join the conversation. I just hope I have something to say. I'm particularly interested in issues facing women at midlife. Look for posts on books, American culture, middle age, thrift shops, shoes, family, politics, religion and maybe even the occasional rant if I'm irritated enough.
Thanks for stopping by!

For those of you looking for a goodly gathering of “modern proverbs” — like the mystifying but occasionally very apt “It is what it is” — those deep thinkers at Freakanomics have a fun list. (Don’t miss the comments.)
And if you’re in the mood for sort of a mini-meme: What’s your favorite quote?

Surf’s up…um, I mean post. I didn’t use your name, as per your recent post, but I can go in and give you full credit if you’re so inclined.

Nope. I’ll remain mysterious. The link is just fine. Thanks, Jane!
