Young for a Very Long Time: Viewpoints on Getting Older

Age is mind over matter, if you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter. So, no one in this book is old; they, like the author, have just been young for a very long time.

This collection of articles, poems, plays and questions and answers from the real experts (people who are 60 and beyond) covers topics such as:

How to answer people when they ask:

How old are you?

What did you do before you retired?

Why buy that, you won’t live long enough to enjoy it?

Can you jump?

The pros and cons of retirement homes

Dating and meeting new friends

Exercise

Living alone and being comfortable doing it

You will meet several real (older) people who are actively working in

their careers and a few fictional people from the plays Snowbirds and Duo who won’t let age prevent them from living full, active lives.

You will read articles such as…

Complaints from a Crabby (formerly nice) person

Still in the game

Computers and me

Simplify your life
