Former SNL writer and The New Yorker staffer Patty Marx employs the weapon she wields best--not that weapon Patty believes in gun control. Instead, she uses her sharp-edged humor to tackle the most difficult facet of aging the minds decline. From forgetting her brother-in-laws name while he was wearing a nametag to hanging up the phone to look for her phone, Marx confesses to her failures, and not only to make you feel better about yourself.
