Joy In A Little Dissatisfaction

“I still don’t have what I want,” says Rita Moreno, star of stage, screen, and television and also a winner of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, an Oscar, and a Kennedy Center Honor recipient. (“The Queen,” by Erik Maza, Town&Country, March 2022, pg. 84.) I understood what she meant. My mother, also a Latin, spent the majority of her 104 years searching for ways to “renew” herself. Given her economic status, that meant buying a new lipstick or getting a free makeover at a department store counter. Like Moreno, she never looked back. Her eyes were always turned to the future. On her lips were the words “Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps* Moreno, 90, who outlived her lovers, including Marlon Brando, dazzles this month with her cover photo on Town&Country. She’s not trawling for work. Plenty is coming her way. Later this year, she appears in an independent film comedy titled, Pink. Does all that history make her a legend? She says “no.” Then she adds, “Perhaps.” Moreno doesn’t reveal what’s at the center of her heart’s desire. Perhaps the quest is the objective, which is why the actress with so much spirit is my role model. For her, the word retired has no meaning. Like Moreno, I still don’t have what I want. I call that lack a blessing. Disappointment coupled with hope is the fuel that shapes the future. For example, I continue to strive for a larger audience for my book talk show Just Read It where, occasionally, a best-selling author drops by. This year marks Just Read It’s 10th season and Phillip Margolin will be with us to celebrate. If I’m not working on that YouTube program, I’m writing this blog, Write Away. In May it turns 12. The world isn’t a dull place so there’s no shortage of topics. That my readers are loyal astounds me, but I hope others will find the site through word-of-mouth or during their meanderings through the internet. When I’m not pondering the meaning of life, I’m pondering the meaning of my life. The rewrite of my memoir continues. After 100 agent rejections, I’m taking another run-through to make it magnificent. That won’t increase my platform which is why agents refused my manuscript. So, no more searing for agents! Getting Lost to Find Home will be out next year, published by Rutherford Classics. After that, I return to short stories. Sales in that venue are immediate. What’s more, there’s no need to pay an editor or publicist, and I get my money upfront. Will I be satisfied as I move into the future? I hope not. Like Moreno, the quest keeps me going. Having a goal is my wish for all my readers, particularly as they become seniors. Without a little dissatisfaction, there’s no striving and no way forward. Save naps for the grave! *song by Cuban songwriter Osvaldo Farrés.

Hetty McKinnon’s spiced chickpea salad with tahini and pita chips is as generous as it is flavorful.

We are very excited to share this amazing NYT review for Phillip Margolin's book A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH!

“Remember airplane reads, those books you could hammer through during a medium-haul flight across some portion of the continent? Phillip Margolin’s A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH is just such a page-turner, the literary equivalent of a few hours bingeing ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.’ Nothing wrong with that.”

A Reasonable Doubt by Phillip Margolin; read by Therese Plummer

A magician linked to three murders and suspicious deaths years ago disappears in the middle of his new act. Robin Lockwood is a young criminal defense attorney and partner in a prominent law firm in Portland, Oregon. A former MMA fighter and Yale Law graduate, she joined the firm of legal legend Regina Barrister not long before Regina was forced into retirement by early onset Alzheimer's. Now, decades later, he debuts his new trick-only to disappear at the end. He's a man with more than one dark past and many enemies-is his disappearance tied to one of the many people who have good reason to hate him? Was he killed and his body disposed of, or did he use his considerable skills to engineer his own disappearance? Robin Lockwood must unravel the tangled skein of murder and bloody mischief to learn how it all ties together.
