About the Book
In a style reminiscent of Erma Bombeck and Garrison Keillor, Frances Weaver urges those
over 55 to regard their lives with newly opened eyes. This is a world in which older
people have better health, housing, educational opportunities, and discretionary buying
power than at any other time in history. But, she cautions: "Being old nowadays is not for
sissies." It's for those self-starters who can learn to fly kites, go back to school, and
reevaluate who they are and where they want to go after the death of a spouse - or the
emptying of a noisy, child-dominated household. With wit and common sense, Frances Weaver
tackles moving, making new friends in your sixties, travel, support groups, new careers
and avocations, and even sex in this lifesaving book that she regards not as a "how-to,"
but a "why-not."
