Dear Readers,
Thank you for your posts and emails that inquired about the return of The New Forty. An explanation about The New Forty’s unexpected hiatus and a return to regular blog posts will be coming on August 30th.
Thank you for your concern and loyalty, it has been heartening. The best part of The New Forty blog experience for me has always been the relationships I have had with the readers.
Until we chat again – obla di obla da
Ms. C
THE NEW FORTY 
I wasn’t even gonna look today and lookie what I found. Well, bless my soul! Bless your heart, you’re aliiiiiiiive! Praise God and pass the sauerkraut!
Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman, but she was another man. I always heard “Sweet Loretta Modern” – it fit so much more symbolically with the next line. And the Yoko allusions.
Get back to where you once belonged. Get back Ms. C!

“Finally, finally!!” Words uttered tonight when opening your blog. Ms. C, I have worried all summer about your whereabouts. Would you believe I even went to your Department website to see if a secretary might be listed and I would contact her to be certain you were OK. I did refrain from calling your friend Mary at Burleigh County Emergency Management. That might have come across as stalking! Your writings, your take on life, your amusements and opinions have really been missed. It will be good to hear from you again at month’s end.

Ms. C, I had to share this happy ever after. Obla di obla da
Talk about a day in the life — McCartney ‘marries’ couple [on stage at Phoenix show] … She found a website saying the Universal Life Church had ordained all four Beatles, so she got busy on a colorful sign to hold up at the concert. It said: “You’re ordained. We’re engaged. Please marry us tonight! Give us a shout out! We love you!” … Paul McCartney saw a sign they were holding and invited the couple on stage last week in Phoenix for an impromptu marriage ceremony, while admitting it probably won’t stick legally.
