Till the Moon Be No More

From hip replacement to learning new bird names, from grandparenting to losing your last dog, from retirement to thoughts of one’s legacy, from jury duty to forgetfulness, from getting rid of stuff to the mystery of the afterlife, this book takes the reader on the bittersweet journey of aging with grace and humor. Aging is an inescapable part of life, something we celebrate when we are young and intent on achieving all those milestones – 16 and driving! 18 and voting! 21 and drinking! – but that becomes more sobering as the milestones are fewer and perhaps grimmer. This book addresses, from the point of view and personal experience of a 65-year-old baby boomer with a bad hip, how we got here, how we carry on our journey with grace and humor, and where we are going next.
