- Cathy Hamilton: The Boomer Busker
- August 26, 2010
- I want to be a busker. Those zany street performers really have it made, don’t they? No deadlines. No office politics. No budget cuts. Just put on a clean costume, show up for work and do something amazing. Ah, but there’s the rub. What could I do that would amaze, awe and attract large amounts of pocket change from the crowds? I have no special talents. At least, none that could be considered busk-able.

They both said, “It’s not what you think,” but really, Annie, they were both naked in the bed. There was no mistaking what they were doing. I lost both my sister and my husband in one day, and I haven’t spoken to either of them since. My ex-husband moved out of state, but I cannot look at Michele without feeling betrayed.
- Horoscope for Aug. 26
- August 26, 2010

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You’re likely to be far luckier in partnership situations than anything you do strictly for yourself. Embrace every associate who wants in, as long as they can make a contribution. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — The assistance you require to accomplish something special will be there for you, but you may have to ask for it. Others who want to repay you for past deeds want to help.
