About the Book

This is hopefully a humorous book, which deals with our many ailments, minor and major, which afflict us as we age. The book offers suggestions as to how to deal with these afflictions. It is written from the perspective of an ordinary man and the understanding of much of the conflicting medical information, that is presented to us on a daily basis. It is hoped that it entertains a little.

Thanks much.

About the Author
The author is a 59 year old, 5'8", 250 lb, white, overweight (fat but fit) nonsmoking, moderate boozing male, who is married, with a wife (female) and two daughters. All three, support me in spirit and are entertained by these fancifull book endeavours of mine. They tell me that the book is amusing and informative. Anyway, that is what they lead me to believe. I suspect they may have ulterior motives.

   I am built like a fire hydrant. You could plumb bob from my shoulders to my hips and touch flesh all the way down. I have the type of body that throws insurance company weight to height guidelines completely out of whack. Have you seen those guidelines. Life insurance is a total scam unless you drop dead at the age of 40. The ideal way to leave this earth is at the age of 80, shot in the back of the head by a jealous husband, right in the middle of the glory stroke.

   I claim to be fat but fit because that is what my recent cardio stress test proved. It amazed my doctor, as she is a 35 year old slim lady, who has been programmed to view anything but slim as a very dangerous state of affairs.

   The reason I think I have an insight into the world of medicine is that my own health is a peculiar thing. I have a lot of sore areas and a lot of body functions that are now regulated and controlled by drugs, legal drugs that is.
