A collection of light-hearted, witty, yet informative, articles about seniors and retirement living.
The articles in the book were written for the SENIOR WIRE NEW SERVICE, the nation's leading syndication of news, information and features for mature market publications. Over 50 papers nationwide, as well as Canada and India, currently pick up the WIRE's articles.
In addition, there are tad bits of useful, if not useless, information to enhance the FUN in 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
Your Gastronomic Chemistry Set
(The battle for the body)
Analyzing the components of what to eat using your gastronomic chemistry set is essential for concocting a wall of defense against the assault on your health or a longer lifespan. Being a senior citizen, and wanting to graduate to being a wise old person, is a constant challenge that makes it is necessary to carefully pick and choose your poisons.
It is full-time battle against all odds and involves not only the woeful time spent at the table, but also, the pre-research and calculation processes you must perform to decide what and when to eat. If it good or bad for you, what it will cure, what it will prevent, and what body part will fall off or what will be added by its consumption.
