    [synopsis] => In our youth oriented culture, Currier asks us to venerate the very old. Merely surviving to old age doesn't guarantee wisdom; it may just be good genes. But if we listen, she says, our elders gift us with pure truth. After twenty five years as a nurse in Assisted Living, Currier has collected a trove of stories, with souls gruff and funny, sometimes feeble and terrifying: 

• meet a ninety year old lady who wants to know about syphilis 

• discover why Santa's pants fell to his ankles 

• learn how a love story ends on different floors 

• find out why the Currier's paid for a cat to have a sex change operation 

• share in a dignified death with perfect timing 

Why venerate the very old? Because, as the author says, we will be them.
