and hilarity. When Eileen meets Ed Leary, a scientist whose bearing is nothing like those of the men she grew up with, she thinks she’s found the perfect partner. They marry, and Eileen quickly discovers Ed doesn’t aspire to the same, ever bigger, stakes in the American Dream. The result is a riveting work of art that reminds us that life is more than a tally of victories and defeats, that we live to love and be loved, and that we should tell each other so before the moment slips away.

Our Driver’s License is a symbol of freedom and independence, something hard-won in our teen years and treasured through our golden years. As we age, it is normal for our driving abilities to change. It is important for us to pay attention to any warning signs that age might be affecting our ability to drive safely. We can always make adjustments such as getting new eye glasses, or even purchasing a car with power brakes or other modifications. If it is time to park the car, although life may seem challenging at first, there are many options to get you where you need to go. Come and hear more about the warning signs and how to address them for yourself, or for your parents at this evening presentation.
