You'll laugh a lot, you'll learn a lot, and you'll probably shed some tears. I'm Bob Schwarz; I'm 84 years old; a retired Television director whose credits include The Ed Sullivan Show, The Electric Company, Search for Tomorrow, As the World Turns and Another World. Humor was - and is - a key element in my approach to life, so as you read about the ups and downs of my 56-year marriage to Mimi, my 45-year career in television, and the maladies, malaises and malfunctions you have to suffer through in order to not die young - you'll laugh a lot. Among other things, the book it tells the inside story of the digestive tract, the history of toilets, how the heart operates, why old people fall down so much, living with cancer and the truth about chastity belts. It's also about angioplasty and pacemakers; cataract replacement and how brassieres were invented; failing memory, mirepoix, Jungian psychology and hearing aids. You'll learn a lot.I shouldn't forget love and compassion. You'll probably shed a few tears. A colorful, bittersweet romp through Old Fartdom - Kirkus Review
