Geezing Along at 80 Anthony J. Anastasi

I was substitute-teaching a few years ago when a second grader came up to my desk, looked at me and said, "You're getting old, huh?" "Yeah, if you hang around long enough, that's what happens," I said. I turned 80 years old on September 12, 2015. Less than half of our population reaches that age. So, do I get credit for reaching 80? What did I have to do with it? Should I be proud . . . or not? What should I do now? Without any answers I did the only reasonable thing I could think of - I wrote this book. It is intended for seniors, potential seniors, and the young, who think that they will never grow old. Chapters range from "How I Got so Old" to "Never too Old." Other chapters include "Ain't This Tuesday?" "Tell Him (Her) Now," and "Is Anybody Up There Going to Help Me?"
