Cowfolk's Guide to Getting Older

Hard-won and universal wisdom from the ranch for those folks gittin’ up in years—by the author of When I Am an Old Coot.

Judge Roy English has probably seen or heard it all in his courtroom. And now that he is retired and getting a little older, his country wisdom appeals to all who’ve had a few “senior moments” or who refuse to just sit back and grow old gracefully. Gems include:

• “Don’t spread your blanket where a cat’s been diggin’.”
• “It don’t take a very big man to carry a grudge.”
• “Every path has some puddles.”
• “When I am an old coot I will go to the Dairy Queen and dip my dentures in the hot fudge when the waitress isn’t looking.”
