My wife, Patricia Bloom, MD, and I have just published a short (30) page book titled “Get Up and Move Your A**! A Light-Hearted But Serious Guide to Successful Aging”. It is written in verse and cartoon illustrated by Isabella Bannerman, an award-winning cartoonist. The book is fun, entertaining and, we believe, motivating to encourage middle-aged and older adults to become physically, mentally and socially active as a means of promoting good health and quality of life in later years.

It is available from http://www.doctorsbloom.com, http://www.booklocker.com, and your favorite online bookstore.
