Foreword

You could make a fortune if you invented something to cure people who worry about growing older. Not everybody suffers from this particular ailment: I’ve yet to meet anyone under 40 who closely watches those commercials about bathtubs you can get into by accessing a water-tight sliding door.

Mostly, worrying about aging is a growing epidemic among those of us who remember where we were when we read, heard, watched (or delivered) the news about … insert transformational historic event here.

But no matter how major, if being able to list a growing catalogue of past occasions was all that mattered, life would be pretty dull. And Patricia Bunin is not about to let life be dull. In this, her second book, Patricia shows the importance of savoring the intimate details of the present, and keeping our eyes open for the future.

Her Senior Moments columns reflect the small places we all have been, or one day — with any luck — will get to go.

Employing a heart-felt decency, Patricia uses her own life experience to open our eyes to the realization that every one of us has stories worth relishing — although usually, she tells them better.

I love Patricia’s writing style: it’s economical and real. Her ear for conversational dialogue is pitch perfect.

The great actress Helen Hays reportedly said: “The hardest years ... are those between 10 and 70.” If true, it turns out you don’t actually need to invent something to cure people who worry about growing older, because we’re already moving toward a time when life gets better.

We will have our “senior moments,” and they will be episodes to embrace ... just as they are in the pages of the book you are holding right now.
