Book description
Recent retirees have a lot of adjustments to make, and we're not
talking only pant size here. This entertaining book on aging offers
hilarious suggestions for handling some of life's more daunting
challenges--from prostate cancer to keeping fit, from overly complicated
TV remotes to night driving. (McCoy wonders if other drivers in their
70s always see trees in the middle of the road after dark.) The author
finds an amusing side to the problems of aging in this perceptive,
on-the-mark collection of witty essays. There ARE ways of coping with
growing older. As he points out, you don't have much choice in the
matter, so you might as well enjoy it. Humor pieces by McCoy have
appeared in numerous newspapers, including at least two that are no
longer in business. He would like to think there was no connection
between their demise and his writing. “Did I Really Change My Underwear
Every Day?” is his first published book. He worked for more than 45
years as a news writer, editor, producer and manager in Chicago, Munich
and New York. Many younger journalists have told him how much they
learned watching him handle big stories. Even if they didn't mean it, he
enjoyed hearing it. A native of Frankfort, Indiana, McCoy is a graduate
of Indiana University as is his wife, Irene, a retired copywriter and
publicist. They live on Long Island in New York.
