Description
Wry essays about the advantages and indulgences of aging. No matter what they say, sixty will never be the new forty. But 65-year-old British writer Virginia Ironside is determined to convince people that getting old is not so bad--even for a Baby Boomer who interviewed the Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix early in her career. In her first nonfiction book published in the United States, Ironside explores the many unsung benefits of aging. There are ailments, but there are also fabulous meds. There are grandchildren--your reward for not killing your children. And then there's "wisdom," the random accumulated knowledge you can label as such precisely because you are old. This collection celebrates scattered memory, frequent naps, and mercifully lowered expectations.--From publisher description.
