Summary

Written in a conversational tone with honesty and humor, this collection of essays is a compelling look at experiences and situations common to people over 70. Part inspiration and part how-to, the writings explore subjects such as choosing a burial or cremation plan, living in a body that requires high maintenance, and being typecast as one who can only eat bland foods. The personal essays expose with irony and humor the often overlooked details of the trials of aging, yet also provide a deeper understanding of the necessity of reinvention late in life.
