Louise Shaffer

Louise is a believer in there’s always a second chance. An actress since she was fifteen, she found herself unemployed when she was in her mid-forties. The reason was…well, she was in her mid-forties. Not a good thing if you’re an actress – aging and eating are taboo. Louise has done both. Also, she was pretty clear about the fact that she was never going to have “knee surgery.” That’s what happens when an actress of a certain age drops out of sight for six weeks and her publicist announces that she’s having an old knee injury repaired. Then the actress emerges with her eyebrows hiked up kind of high on her forehead and all those nasty little lines around her mouth seem to have vanished… oh yeah, and her knee is working fine too.

Matt Tracy

When I’m not hiking in the hills with my wife and dogs, I like to read. I usually read a couple of books a week, in all genres. A good novel with great characters is my favorite choice, but I love non-fiction, science fiction, romance, detective stories, biographies, and of course, self-help books.

I have to admit (full disclosure) that I have read all of the Louis L’Amour books, oh, maybe three or four times each, and there are over 150 of them. There’s something soothing about them. They’re manly but for a thinking man. And they do have a lot of wisdom in them. If you read Happy Here and Now you’ll see that Louis is quoted there.

I like to cook, and I like to share the process of cooking with Maria and with my friends if they want to join i
