INTRODUCTION
1 THE BODY
“Speak up! I can't hear you!”
You can't be too careful (or … falling down and crashing cars)
Now that you don't have sex anymore…
2 THE MIND
“I'm just having a senior moment”
“Did I tell you this already?”
Older but wiser
3 THE SELF
Older people are a disagreeable bunch
“Give me my lunch. Now go away.”
Why try to improve your life if the future is so brief?
4 LIVING CONTEXTS
Growing old can only mean there is more opportunity to enjoy the bliss of family relationships
Retirement is for sissies
5 ENDINGS AND LOSS
All the good ones are either gay, married, or dead
And then you die…
