Longevity: What It's Like to Get There is a deeply personal reflection on aging, written not from theory, but from lived experience. At 96 years old, Douglas M. Gebbie offers a rare and honest perspective on the physical, emotional, and practical challenges that accompany advanced age. Unlike many books on aging written by younger authors or observers, this work speaks from within the experience itself—addressing loss, adaptation, resilience, and the quiet adjustments required as the years progress.
With clarity, humility, and insight shaped by both a long medical career and a long life, Gebbie reflects on what it means to continue living fully while navigating the limitations of aging. This book is not a manual, nor a lament, but a thoughtful companion for readers seeking understanding, perspective, and reassurance about growing older—from someone who is truly already there.

Still Searching for the Right Scent
Scent: Sandalwood + Amber, Size: 30.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Smells great and lathers well, but it’s super hard to get any volume out of the bottle, and the scent really isn’t that strong or distinctive. I don’t think I’ll buy this again and will keep looking. I’ve tried Salt & Stone Body Wash with Antioxidants for Deep Moisture and ORIBE Cote d'Azur Replenishing Body Wash as well; they’re good, but they don’t offer any noticeable scent once you’re out of the shower. I have a very sensitive nose, so I know it’s not just me.

Superb
Format: Hardcover
A superb selection of Williams' poetry in a handsome and durable small volume. The editor, Robert Pinsky, selected an appropriate spectrum of Williams' verse across his long career, including all his most famous poems. Reading and rereading these poems is always rewarding because of Williams' ability to capture arresting images, experiences, and states of mind. As with all anthologies, some choices may be arguable. I would like to see all of his great, late poem Asphodel included but Pinsky's choices make sense and reflect his sure knowledge of Williams' work. This book is a great addition to the worthy American Poets Project.
