Young For a Very Long Time

Getting old isn't so bad when you consider the alternative!  So this book isn't about getting old; it's about being young for a very long time. The author Barbara Fox has compiled articles, poems, plays, questions and answers, quotations and sayings from the real experts (people who are sixty and over) on a variety of subjects.

How to answer people when they ask:

    How old are you?

    What did you do before you retired?

    Why are you trying internet dating at your age?

Other topics include moving to retirement homes, exercising, making new friends and more.

You will meet several real people who are actively working at their careers or starting new careers and a few fictional people  (the plays Snowbirds  and Duo) who aren't letting their age stop them from enjoying their lives and trying new things

You will read articles like Still In the Game, and As we age we remember.

Mini Views are scattered throughout the book:

   Age is mind over matter, if you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

  Wrinkles are just smiles turned upside down.

  9 p.m. is the new midnight.

 Young for a very long time is a light-hearted collection of practical, informative, and sometimes funny advice about getting older.
