Today was the day of the big race, obviously the Indianapolis 500, which I forgot to watch, so I don't know who won and can't write about it. Lucky for me today is also The End of the Middle Ages Day. Evidently the Middle Ages came to an end (on this date?) 569 years ago. That would seem to indicate that the Renaissance started in 1453ad. If I remembered more from my Art History lectures, and I should because I was the instructor, I'm sure I could share some fascinating facts with you, but I can't so I won't. On the other hand, thinking about my own 'middle ages' I do remember a little. I was working, my children were growing up, grandchildren came along and my middle started to spread. That is why they call it middle age spread. But now I am beyond middle age, unless I live to be 144, and that would just be gross. This face can't support that many more wrinkles. Enough reminiscing. I guess I'll check the news and see who won the race.
