For the last umpty years, upon our return from trips/vacations/adventures, our friends have waited with bated breaths to learn what we'd gotten ourselves into after realizing we seemed to be unable to travel without incident. This always leads to recalls from us, often with wild hand gestures. They have respectfully allowed us to go on and on about what we'd gotten ourselves into most recently. Now, maybe our friends were just being nice, but they have been nonetheless reinforcing these little humorous slices off the norm. In and of themselves individually, no one of these tales is terribly exciting. However, in a collection, there certainly was plenty of material from which to draw!To legitimize the stories, I felt they intimated teaching moments. Hence, I included "touristy tips," and lest it should be too terribly boring, Tasties wandered their ways in with the stories.

What the Heck Happened to the Last 30 40 Years is the culmination of a number of years of wondering where the instructions were for aging. Each look back was putting me further and further from my most favorite years of life! Dear heavens! It was 50 friggin' years behind me in junior college--my age of discovery!Having had my mother live with us for her last 7 years of life, I had gotten insight into end of life when it dawned on me, oh no, we're the next in the steady progression! Where's that elusive instruction book? Where are the directions for how to handle what's going on with this galloping continuum?So I decided to provide it. This is a collection of bits of advice, interviews with 19- through 95-year-olds on their views of aging and vignettes on some, Facebook humor and wise words, medical heads-up on things that could show up, instructions, good stuff about getting older (really), and craziness from the mind of a not-quite-right 69-year-old who, turned loose, feels every age group could use some warning about the effects of aging!
