One Thing or Another: Life, Aging, and the Absurdities of It All

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.
