Expect Some Delays: Short Stories About Detours in a Long Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781665700405)

People over 50 puzzle out their future in tales of men and women (and a robot), who are poised on the brink of a precipitous challenge. There are a wide variety of personalities and situations they have gotten into, but they all find a way forward. A comedian wants to be taken seriously in his old age, a 60-year-old robot has high aspirations when it is upgraded, the proprietress of a Dodge City saloon tries to write a memoir, and a food critic learns to enjoy food again. The characters in these stories have arrived at life-changing crossroads, giving readers a chance to wonder about which path they will choose. It doesn't help they have entered a new territory of life where the signposts have changed, the landscape looks different, and choices aren't always clear.
