Synopsis

Dented Cans and Classic Cars centers on Daniel Krause's experiences with moving to a retirement community and covers the entire - sometimes difficult experience, from deciding on a move and picking a place to live to the frustrations of downsizing and his personal reactions after they moved into "the home."

Dented Cans and Classic Cars is about growing older and the feelings it generates in a person who spent much of his career studying the aging process. The chapters have a series of pithy comments that only a professional sociologist with a finely honed sense of humor could make.

The writing is lighthearted, often humorous, and filled with unique insights into the problems, issues, and unique perspectives that are part of getting older in America. Dented Cans and Classic Cars answers some questions people never thought to ask, and the email supplements in each chapter provide fascinating and intensely personal insights into the author's thoughts.
