Longevity: What It's Like to Get There is a deeply personal reflection on aging, written not from theory, but from lived experience. At 96 years old, Douglas M. Gebbie offers a rare and honest perspective on the physical, emotional, and practical challenges that accompany advanced age. Unlike many books on aging written by younger authors or observers, this work speaks from within the experience itself—addressing loss, adaptation, resilience, and the quiet adjustments required as the years progress.
With clarity, humility, and insight shaped by both a long medical career and a long life, Gebbie reflects on what it means to continue living fully while navigating the limitations of aging. This book is not a manual, nor a lament, but a thoughtful companion for readers seeking understanding, perspective, and reassurance about growing older—from someone who is truly already there.

Really awesome coat
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy-03
I love this coat. Its attached "scarf" didn't really do it for me, so I removed it. It is well constructed with quality fabric and stitching... at least for the price. I did some intense traveling with it over the holidays and it held up fine. Nice inner pockets. And I got compliments on the look. I would say that it runs a bit small or that I gained more weight over the holidays than I thought I did. I was able to use it as a top coat over a suit FWIW.
