Overview

"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."

"""Enjoyed the book very much. I laughed at the humorous comments. Great information to consider while deciding on future moves while downsizing. I hope the author continues with more adventures.""-Janet Aggen, speech teacher ""I always look forward to another Dan Krause book, and I was not disappointed with his latest. He takes us on a journey many of us will have to face as we age-finding a place to live out our golden years. It is a wise, compassionate, and thought-provoking trip presented in a clear, concise, and intelligent manner-heavily laced with Krause's signature humor. I recommend this book to anyone, especially those facing this type of decision for themselves or someone they love or for anyone who just needs some good laughs.""-David Countryman, special education teacher ""Buy the book, but use a yellow highlighter so you can read the numerous LOL sentences to your friends (or your enemies)! BTW, face facts: we are all dented cans.""-David Edelberg, MD, author of The Triple Whammy ""Read this book if you are moving. Read this book if you are not moving. Mr. Krause is insightful, humorous, and sometimes biting. You will enjoy your conversation with him.""-Paul Mooradian, a new condo dweller"
