One Thing or Another: Life, Aging, and the Absurdities of It All
By Mark McNease
Length1h 41m
About this audiobook
One Thing or Another is a collection of humor columns that takes a look at life, aging, and the absurdities of it all. From our culture's refusal to use the word 'old,' to the sometimes comical consequences of aging in body and mind, if not always in spirit. Collected from the author's personal columns, these short essays will make you chuckle, recognize yourself, and sometimes grimace at the not-always-funny price we pay for simply staying alive.
