A collection of light-hearted, witty, yet informative, articles about seniors and retirement living. In addition, there are tad bits of useful, if not useless, information to add to my other book How to Have FUN with RETIREMENT: Dreams, Fantasies, Facts, Jokes, and Elucidations that have come from semi-scientific papers, true stories told by a liar, personal experiences as logged and blogged on the Internet and passed on as remedies and antidotes for the human condition … and just plain-old made-up stuff.
Excerpt
To a retired senior, a coffee break is anytime you feel like it … to do whatever you feel like doing … from now on … for as long as you want. You have taken a very long coffee break in life. This book is to help you get away from the norm … the usual boring things that drag you down. It isn’t a puzzle book or anything, but a collection of light-hearted articles about subjects that you can read at random to break up the day.

As you'll discover inside, Groucho Marx successfully fulfilled his lifelong goal of living forever, right up to the day he died. His larger message was that while "forever" turns out to have a cutoff point, it likely can be extended, as it was in his case (to age 86), with heavy doses of fun. May this book add years to yours forever!

Pat Kennedy’s propensity to being a heckuva wordsmith makes this the obvious and necessary sequel to his former retirement manual, Being a Senior Citizen. If laughter makes the world go round, and purportedly adds to our longevity, what better way to spend your retirement than lapping up, learning from, and laughing your way through these pages?

Patrick Kennedy writes about senior living with a style that is equal parts humorous and poignant. The senior years can be a challenging life stage; Kennedy's words help his readers face them with grace--and a little attitude.
