In the time between my single life in Chicago and my married life in Buffalo, I spent almost two years delighting in the company of the elderly. It wasn't a conscious choice or pursued goal, I just found myself in their company, listening to their stories, trying to not to stare at their dentures.

The experiences were truly rewarding...so much that I dedicated a year to pulling them together in a fiction novel titled Trimming the Blue Hairs.
