YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJudith Viorst discusses her book, "Nearing 90", at Politics and Prose.
Starting with It's Hard to Be Hip Over 30 and continuing through Forever 50 and Unexpectedly Eighty, Viorst’s witty rhymes about aging have eased these relentless decennial milestones. Now facing life as a nonagenarian, Viorst, a prolific writer whose work ranges from science and psychology to the beloved Alexander books for children, finds that life still holds many of the delights she’s been enjoying right along, such as companionship, Scrabble, and no doubt penning these spirited lyrics. Viorst also reminds us to keep a sense of humor and not take things too seriously—wonderful advice for all ages.
