Imagine standing in a child's room at your mid-point of life, staring into a mirror of truth, and realizing that the child you last saw in that looking glass now has thinning hair, bulging love handles, and an aching back. You may be halfway through life, but are you half-through living? Robin T.W. Yuan, M.D., attacks mid-life and its fears with vigor, humor, and truth in a book of insightful and entertaining vignettes about foggy memory, failing vision, fading dreams, and a sagging physique: a gentle, animal-loving boy becomes a middle-aged ant killer, a once avid and aggressive baseball player turns into a recreational softballer cautious about sliding into home plate, an aging uncle longs to recapture lost innocence through the eyes of his two-year-old nephew.
