Mack and Myra, lovers from years long past, find themselves reunited, but know they will have little time together. How best to spend these few days? Should they visit cemeteries? Go shopping? See old friends? House-sit the neighbors chickens? Volunteer at the local library? Perhaps take an extended trip to a local casino? Maybe spend long quiet nights in front of the fireplace? Whatever they do, wherever they do it, they will have to avoid notice by family, friends, neighbors, social workers and process servers - none of whom could approve everything they are doing. After all, Mack is in failing physical health, and Myra has fled her senior care facility. Coming to think of it, what should octogenarians be expected to do with their time and money? What should they be encouraged to do with their failing abilities? What should they be allowed to do by the society in which they live?
