I had such a good time last week at Five Points Center for Active Adults. Not only did we have a great turnout—see the photo below—but I loved this queer audience of seniors who had great questions and dilemmas coming from their own life experiences (especially this one: “I’m 82, do I really have to tell people my age?”)

I’d been invited to talk about my most recent book, Stupid Things I Won’t Do When I Get Old, and to be honest it had been a minute. I felt like I visited an old friend (the book) and made new friends (those who came out the day before Tropical Storm Debby dumped a record amount of rain on The Triangle).

This event was co-sponsored by Five Points Active Adult Center, Raleigh Arts, and the Carolina Aging Alliance.
