Susan Jacoby was on "The Current" one morning this week; in her book, "Never Say Die," she writes about the realities of aging and the deceptions with which we currently live. It is not that she argues one cannot have a healthy old age, but that the body ages despite any attempt to thwart nature. I think she articulates a lot of what I am watching my mother-in-law go through and how people react to her and how I react to people who worry about aging. Anyhow, I anticipate Jacoby's book because of the reviews. It is reassuring to have someone share the same view.
