Includes Author Dedication; Who Are You Calling Middle Aged?; and Preliminary Page Humorous Poem. "Lyla Blake Ward transforms the everyday trials and tribulations of growing old (against one's better judgment) into high hilarity. Brimming with wit and grace, this essay collection takes stock of developments both familiar and strange that have filed Ms. Ward's life, from the parenting of gown children to confronting "connectivity fees" for the first time. Readers will be charmed to meet this sly octogenarian, and will marvel as her gimlet wit rescues her - and us - time and again from the inanities of the post-consumer world." - from the rear outer jacket. "Lyla Blake Ward's How to Succeed at Aging Without Really Dying is a wry, witty, and wise collection of essays about living in a world of bubble packs you can't open, electronics you can't turn on, polls you're not deemed worthy of taking, and expiration dates you can only hope don't apply to you. Most of all, it's about the difficulties of staying on the planet when it's spinning out of control. Whilte taking a humorous look at parenting and grand-parenting, self-help and wellness, and passowrds and handheld devices, How to Succeed. answers such pressing questions as: What brand of yogurt guarantees you will live to 110: Can older people shop online, or is the "submit order" button really only visible to users under 50? And how many pixels does it take to win your grandchild's affection? As we get older, we can whine or complain about our losses - memory, muscles, and mobility - or we can roll with the paunches. This book rolls." - from the inner front jacket flap. Seller Inventory # 005540
