Oh, the freedom...freedom from workaday pressures, yes. But this book also explores the freedom the 55+ population takes from limitations on their social lives. "Who's to know? The people in this community have no idea what I used to be. I can be anybody, anything I want to be. I can do anything I want to do, and it matters not that I never did that before, nor that I know absolutely nothing about it. And best of all I find myself surrounded by people my age who are also exploring new personas. I may have never played tennis since age 10 but neither have a dozen others. I can't draw a straight line. I'll be an artist. How about an actor? I can do that." Do what you want; be what you want. You are now 55+. Watch out world. They're here and these seniors are going nuts.
