This book was basically engineered in a lab for me, specifically: the themes of being in the sandwich generation, watching your parents _and_ your kids getting older, and reflecting on your own past all resonated. "Life is a seesaw," Newman writes, "and I am standing dead center, still and balanced: living kids on one side, living parents on the other. Nicky here with me at the fulcrum. Don’t move a muscle, I think. But I will, of course. You have to."
