YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Dave Barry discusses his book, "Lessons From Lucy", at Politics and Prose.

Looking for ways to enter middle age with a healthy, upbeat attitude, Barry, the Pulitzer Prize-winning humor columnist, turned to Lucy, his rescue dog. Embodying the cheerfulness he strove to emulate, Lucy taught Barry seven essential life lessons, including making new friends and staying in touch with old ones, living in the present, letting go of anger and daily grievances, and taking an open, trustful approach to life. Playful yet sincere, this primer for aging well includes wry accounts of Barry’s as well as Lucy’s experiences, along with a healthy dose of Barry’s signature sarcasm and wit.
