I've Got a New Complaint by Laurie Notaro
Laurie Notaro is back with another collection of essays, this time on the joys (?) of growing older. She writes about dealing with aging parents who treat you like you're still a child, even though you are all senior citizens now, having to verify her identity two or three times just to order chicken bouillon cubes online (because apparently scammers are just waiting to steal her identity so they can charge their chicken bouillon to her account), and the insanity of getting a puppy when you are in your 60s (by all means, get a dog but get an older less active dog). Like all humorous essay collections, some are good, others miss the mark. But there are several good laughs.
