What happens when the Class of ’69 gets back together 57 years later? Apparently, you laugh about the same stupid stuff… you just need a little more time to get out of the chair.
Bill sits down at his home with his Mom for a conversation about getting older without necessarily feeling older, friendships that somehow survive decades, why movement matters, the strange things we’re afraid of as we age—and why a sense of humor might be one of the best survival skills we’ve got.
They get into gratitude, the mind-body connection, death, dementia, old friends, new friends, letting go of anger, and why holding onto the past usually hurts the person doing the holding. Along the way there’s Reiki, Catholic school, wine, football, Hells Angels, questionable bathroom etiquette and the realization that at 18 you stay up until 2 a.m. because you’re having fun. At 80, you’re up at 2 a.m. because something hurts.
Funny, honest, occasionally inappropriate and surprisingly thoughtful, this is a conversation about aging that really becomes a conversation about living.
Because maybe the goal isn’t staying young.
Maybe it’s staying in the damn game.
