After retiring from a 35-year career in advertising, Tom Dryden discovered a new calling — documenting the hilarious, baffling, and sometimes maddening realities of aging, retirement, modern life, and residing in a state dubbed “God’s Waiting Room.”

Retired & Moved to Florida is a laugh-out-loud collection of all-over-the-place stories about absurd diner conversations and the horrors of serving on an HOA board...battles with iguanas and the IRS…why old people shouldn’t dance…and obtaining a questionable but perfectly legal prescription for marijuana. Dryden explains why an E.R. nurse needed to confirm if his genitals were “original”… shares his take on stupid TV commercials and living with spoiled dogs … and reveals a never-before-told tale from his “criminal” past.

Served up with wit, wisdom, and a generous dollop of crankiness, this book is a must-read for fellow oldsters, or anyone who hopes to be one someday. And it’s a great gift for your favorite Boomer, too.
