    About this ebook

    This is the fourth volume of Massoud’s writing. This book contains fifty-eight short stories and essays—some funny, some tragic, and some spiritual. All are about the people of age eighty and over.

    As the author’s painting, Massoud Boutique, on the front cover illustrates, there is a great difference between old and young. The lady wears an eighteenth-century dress, yet the picture of the young girl in the window is modern fashion of 2008. The battle of ages has existed forever. This is a law of nature.

      I RECENTLY spotted one of our journalists vaping and was surprised. “I didn’t know you smoke,” I told her. “I don’t!” she replied. “It’s just vaping.” I thought about that exchange as I read our story about the dangers of vaping on page 40. The rise

      I WAS fascinated by the story we have this week about people who fall in love with or are in relationships with artificial intelligence (AI). It raises so many questions about these interactions, how people see themselves and others and what it means

      My father died after just a few weeks in the old folks' home. I can't forget watching him walk around the place saying, "I don't remember a trial. Was there a trial or just this sentence?" My mother took much longer. Toward the end, her vital signs w

      The elderly are often not treated with the respect they deserve. Referred to as “oxygen wasters”, “old fogeys” and the “long-past-it brigade” (being some of the kinder terms), they shuffle along trying to make some sense out of why they’re still arou
