Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sixty-Something and Flying Solo" is a humorous, edgy memoir filled with serious ponderings. An Oregon transplant with no kids, no significant other, the author is someone about whom readers could say "I wouldn't want to be in her shoes, but if she can make it, I can too." Pieces such as "What Not to Say at a Funeral" and "Dusting and Other Insanities" provide a backdrop for monthly accounts of her fall into retirement's abyss where she clings to her to-do lists while she alters her diet, her wardrobe, her routine and her vow to become more domestic. When she resurfaces a year later, she's surprised at the landscape and what has saved her.
