Is 80 the New 60?

Hager and Soderman, both in their 80s, aren't afraid to laugh at themselves. Questioning whether 80 is the new 60, they've literally gone around the bend in this hilarious compilation of 42 stories about neighbors, relatives, and lots of people who didn't know they were being observed. In baring it all, the authors share both funny and embarrassing experiences such as buying a new swimsuit, staying in shape, finding a man, and needing those adult incontinence products. Their predominately 50+ neighborhood that could be anywhere in the United States is complete with an over-active rumor mill, genuine friendships, and people just as silly as they are. All wrapped up, this is a fun, snarky, and in-your-face read. The looney encounters described are part memoir and a wee bit of exaggeration-meant to put you in a good mood, whether you're 80, 60, or still on your way to somewhere else.
