"Still Foolin' 'Em" by Billy Crystal, is his hilarious take on growing old from one of the funniest comedians of our generation. As he turns 65 and joins the 77 million baby boomers who are also hitting this milestone, he wonders how he got to this point and when he started looking like his uncle Al. "Where I've Been, Where I'm Going and Where the Hell Are My Keys". He captures with humor the physical changes and indignities of aging endured by boomers in American society. More trips to the Dermatologist than to see his grandchildren, older men who have given up and wander the malls after their wives, dental cleanings where jackhammers are now needed to chisel the tartar resembling a coral reef and embarrassing your spouse by nodding off at Broadway performances. It is also part memoir of his fascinating career and great stories of the people he met on his way up. You'll feel better after reading Billy's new book knowing he is also going through the challenging aging process with humor we can relate to.
