Hey there, women in their thirties (or beyond). We've discovered that despite what Hollywood wants us to believe, we are not at all dead and - dare I say it? - maybe even better than ever.

All are welcome - professionals, unprofessionals, singles, marrieds, moms, non-moms, artists, introverts, layabout playgirls, etc. It's fine if you're 29, but you have to be worldly and sophisticated, …

This group is about diverse, classy, adventurous and professional women in their mid twenties to early forties, getting together to find lasting friendships.

Do you work at home in the Baltimore area? Let's get together to chat about our business (and non-business!) experiences, support each others' business efforts, and commiserate about, well, anything that needs commiserating about. This group is more of a casual social group than a group that holds business-like meetings. We'll go out for coffee, meet for lunch, take walks, and anything else that sounds like fun! Suggestions are welcome.

Our members are men and women of all nationalities who must be 69 or older. Come for laughs, conversation, a stand-in for a date, sharing your culture and history, a shoulder to cry on, or for just sitting and watching.  We plan each meetup at a location with access to public transportation and we travel as far as northern Virginia, D.C., southern Maryland, and of course Greater Towson Maryland.

I love reading books aimed at a young audience, and I know other people must, too! Let's revisit old favorites like _A Wrinkle in Time_ and the _Half Magic_ series, as well as new classics like _When You Reach Me_, _Will Grayson, Will Grayson_, and _Marcello in the Real World_. We can also consider questions where we benefit from adulthood/hindsight, such as... Do you like _The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe_ any better or worse now that you know it's all Christian allegory? How in the world …
