    In her eighth decade, and feeling compelled to comment on what "she got out of it all," Nancy Parsons offers this collection of casual essays. It's a mixed dish of memoir, social comment, and rant, loosely organized around the subject of aging, and seasoned with a healthy helping of humor. With the right attitude, growing older is an adventure. It would be a shame to miss it.
