Expect Changes
Al Turnbull Guest Blogger (An Old Man's Guide to Advan ced Age) You are old Father William and your hair has become very white... Lewis Carroll We are constantly told in the daily news reports that our population is aging. An advertisement in a popular magazine proclaims that 10,000 people turn 65 every day. They don't cite their research, but anyhow, it is evident that there are a lot of children and a lot of old people around; also, there is evidence when you read obituaries in the newspaper that many people are living long lives. As one of the elder eldest (I am 89), I feel that I am in a position to expound on old age as an expert on how to exist in a hostile environment. At least I have some ideas and suggestions to those of you who are in your middle seventies and are going to have to be canny and realize that you are going to have to re-learn many things as time rushes by, and you become among the old older.
