In this episode of Oldish:Conversations on Aging in the 21st Century Co-hosts Dr. Janet Price and Gregg Kaloust are joined by dear friend Leslie Ross-Degnan to discuss When the Cranes Fly South, by Lisa Ridzen. It is a remarkable telling of the final days of an 89 year old man. It's deeply insightful, and just as deeply touching. You can find a copy at your local library, your local book store, or in the Oldish Book Store at bookshop.org/shop/oldish.

Next up is a conversation with Substacker Blue. She's 82 and still reinventing herself at https://substack.com/@reinventyourlife

Then, stay tuned for the 4th Anniversary episode of Oldish. Yes, Oldish is 4!
