Old Age Sucks

by James Robinson Jr.

At the age of 45, I began writing about life through the eyes of a middle ager. The book, entitled, Fighting the Effects of A Bittersweet Journey into Middle Life outlined the foibles of living in the middle stages of ones existence. Gravity discusses such topics as presbyopia (the need for bifocals), mid-life sex, and a butt that has fallen and can't get up. But now, having reached the ripe old age of 70, I find that my issues have increased tenfold. Eyes that required bifocals have developed cataracts, tears. and displacements. Knees that just harbored arthritis require replacement, and dentures have suddenly entered the conversation. Believe me folks, middle age is a nuisance, but Old Age Sucks .

Old Age Sucks

Mr. Robinson gave me one laugh after another s th a lot of nodding in agreement. You see I am over 70 as well! Honestly at the age of 70+ you need reasons to laugh! Mr. Robinson I love your wit! I may go back and read about middle age and see if I missed anything. Thank you.

A cute book about a man that is approaching the age of 70. It talks about the things people experience as they grow older.

A funny look at getting older. The author's health woes are familiar to all of us but are told in such a way as to make them seem less daunting.
