What We’re Watching
Season 2 of the comedy, “Man on the Inside,” starring Ted Danson as a septuagenarian private detective, is streaming now on Netflix. While investigating a blackmail scheme at a local college, Danson’s character falls for a teacher at the school played by his real-life spouse of three decades, Mary Steenburgen. Finding love later in life is just as exciting, sexy, awkward, and messy as it is at any age. Read the SF Chron’s review of the show at the link below.
Meet Davor Golub
A transplant to NYC by way of London, Davor is a teaching artist with a colorful background of moving fluidly between stage and classroom. And though he doesn’t own up to it in his bio, he’s a walking encyclopedia of show tunes and factoids for any musical that has hit the Broadway stage.
Meet Jenness Brewer
From her upbringing in rural Connecticut, to the executive hallways of NY and LA, and now back to bucolic environs, Jenness Brewer’s latest act is the culmination of all that came before. She brings her love of land, art, fellowship, and family together in beautiful and unexpected ways.
Meet Beatriz Coll
Once an avant-garde punk rocker in London, then a commercial architectural photographer, and later a pediatric nurse. Bea Coll lived a lot of life before retiring to Asheville, North Carolina where she now focuses on her art, quantum physics, and becoming a death doula.
Geritas Spotlights Roctogenarians, a New Book by Mo Rocca
“Roctogenarians: Late in Life Debuts, Comebacks, and Triumphs,” by CBS Sunday morning correspondent Mo Rocca, is a heartening anthology of individuals whose second acts are just as inspiring as their first. Rocca features artists, activists, architects, and athletes, and one actual rock star, Queen guitarist Brian May, who earned his PhD in astrophysics at age 60. The collection also includes cautionary tales about those who fell (some quite hard) from grace in the latter part of their lives. We see you Rudy Giuliani.
