If you've ever looked into a mirror and wondered who that old fogey is who's staring back at you, this book is for you. This collection of humorous essays will make you smile not only about the inevitability of aging but even about the unstable stock market, the frustrations of dealing with Voicemail menu choices, the interminable waits on "Hold," the generation gap, the challenges of the computer age, and almost everything else that annoys or gratifies you, no matter how old or young you are. A delightful potpourri of rants, nostalgia, and just plain fun.

My father, the Pope,
By David Westheimer (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Stranger in My Mirror (Paperback)
Almost from the moment the title story of Rose Madeline Mula's delightful collection of witty and sometimes rueful observations of life in the slow lane, The Stranger In My Mirror, appeared online in Senior Women Web (under the title The Stranger In My House) it was a legend in its own time. Thousands of Senior Women readers e-mailed it to friends (that is how I was introduced to it) and one sent it to the late Ann Landers without attribution. Landers was so taken with it she published it in her column (she quickly acknowledged that Mula was the author as soon she learned of it). "Stranger" is but one of over 40 short pieces of Mula's wry, self-deprecating (but no less wise) slant on even the most ordinary events. Although the one about her father, who looked just like Pope John Paul II and was co-winner of a look-alike contest in vestments that included a yarmulke borrowed from a Jewish neighbor, is hardly ordinary.

Erma Brombeck is reborn,
By Paula Ferrone (Winchester, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Stranger in My Mirror (Paperback)
I so enjoyed the quips, stories and humor of the late Erma Brombeck and miss her column. Rose Mula's stories take me back there, and boy can I identify with many of them. Humor to laugh at the characters and yourself is a great stress reliever. I am thankful to the author for her witty accounts of everyday life. Forge on!
