NEWS FLASH: Spotlight on Eloquent Books author Michael Garee
Michael Garee is featured in Today's Senior Network - http://www.todaysseniorsnetwork.com/You%27re_Getting_old_if.htm
This is How the Story Goes...
In 2007 Mike launched a new Web site aimed at seniors and those who love them, http://www.seniormomentsonline.org/. One of the regular site features is “The Lighter Side,” and as the title suggests, it is there that the focus is on some of the more humorous aspects of being a senior. (And, as Mike points out, there are quite a few!) Some books Mike and his wife, Lynda, have found hilariously funny over the years is the You Might Be a Redneck If . . . series, written and published by one of the funniest, best comedians on the planet, Jeff Foxworthy. So, in an early attempt to generate material for “The Lighter Side,” Mike and Lynda began batting around some “You Might be Getting Old If . . .” one-liners, à la Foxworthy. Mike said they found it great fun (they're easily entertained these days, he said), and 200 of those one-liners they considered to be “keepers” are included in Mike's new book.
