&lt;p&gt;Dear Ms. Applewhite,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This chair rocks. So does the person sitting in it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You&amp;rsquo;ve spent years demolishing the assumption that aging is decline — that older adults are burdens to be managed rather than resources to be celebrated. &lt;em&gt;This Chair Rocks&lt;/em&gt; isn&amp;rsquo;t just a book title. It&amp;rsquo;s a manifesto against the ageism that tells half our population they&amp;rsquo;re past their expiration date.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
