Stumbling Seniors
The Golden Years. One of the enduring euphemisms for the period of life during which one gets old, forgetful, slow and clumsy. Yet another euphemism for missteps that occur during this period: senior moments. That's a kind way to characterize the stories in this chapter.
Yet seniors don't agonize over these missteps as much as younger folks. They've gained perspective -- learned to laugh at the small stuff. Maybe that's why the subjects of these stories happily shared their follies.
