Senior Moments: What Happens When Your Brain Lets You Down - Softcover

From the author of Can't Remember Sh*t, here is a new trade paper original of all the things she forgot to put in the first book. Plus, this one has a softer, gentler title that many people won't be embarrassed to give to their parents! From coming to grips with new-fangled technology to forgetting your best friend's name, Senior Moments explores the whole spectrum of annoyances that befall us as we go gray at the temples, add a few inches to the mid-section, and can never remember what day of the week it is. Comprised of the experiences of everyone from politicians to TV talking heads, from the famous to the infamous (and everyone in-between), Senior Moments is crammed full of advice, anecdotes, confessions, quotes, tips, and excuses - and does it all without straining its back.

Senior moments come in all shapes and sizes, and can strike at any age. Of course, you might chalk up the phenomenon to the stress of modern-day life, but this isn’t the case at all. They have plagued human beings for centuries. Just as senior moments are not confined to a specific age group, neither are they respecters of class or intelligence.
