After reading Raveled by this author I was dying to read more of her work. I'm so glad I did.Susanna hits forty and begins working off her list of goals for the year. The premise might sound boring, but this is no ordinary list. The people Susanna meets are a diverse group of individuals who each have something to teach her as she is teaching herself, her family and friends that you can teach an old dog new tricks.My favorite character is Eddie, a former history teacher, Blues guru and philosopher. He is a teller of tales that are trueand humbling and he is generous of his time and spirit.I found this novel not only laugh out loud funny but thought provoking. I think it taught this old dog a few tricks as well!BTW - chunneling refers to the practice of using a grapefruit spoon to dig out the clumps of chocolate etc in a pint of icecream. Now that is a really good trick.
