Summary

With humor, wit, and refreshing honesty, author Everett Mattlin offers his reflections on the realities of aging. In a country "where old age is an embarrassment" and the elderly are exhorted to energize their "power years," he insists there "was and is nothing wrong in fact, there is everything right and proper about old-style old age: the rocking chair, afternoon naps, sweet reminiscences over photo albums. . . " Or doing nothing. "Sloth is no longer a sin," he asserts. "It's a gift bestowed on survivors." Readers will chuckle over the familiar, as he lightheartedly surveys such topics as oldster grumpiness, the travails of travel, pesky hearing aids, hateful diets and exercise, endless doctor appointments, the "X-plicitness" of today's movies, and the advantages of sleeping in a separate bedroom from one's spouse.
