YOUR LIFE CHANGES AS YOU GET OLDER. You find that family, friends and the public in general will look at you (the old man, or old woman) with pity in their eyes. You start seeing and feeling this. I would laugh to myself at questions they ask you or how they treat you. I decided to write a book about getting older as a humorous parody. You do know they care. You will laugh at some of the things older people experience. It makes for a great birthday gift, as it applies to everyone at one time or another.
