Opis

Gerald (with his son's input) give us a series of witty monologues and memoir entries concerning life in a typical elder home. As his mental and physical conditions deteriorate, he moves from Independent Living to Assisted Living and, finally, Death. An Army Air Corps veteran and retired aeronautical engineer, Gerald must now come to terms with the cold equations of "elder physics" and negotiate the challenges of living in an institution. Therein, he deals with pain and loss of independence, engages with fellow elders, and confronts the mysteries of the digital age. Between adventures, he reminisces about his passing life.
