      In praise of older women who say to old age what Madeleine told the tiger at the zoo: “Pooh, pooh.”

      And to the praise of my women—my mother, Gilda Wagman, and my daughter, Jordanna Shyloh Geller.

      “Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale

      her infinite variety…”

      William Shakespeare (1606)
