Leseprobe As you walk toward the doors of a gymnasium that you vaguely recognize, your hand clasps tightly around your partner's. The early summer heat isn't entirely to blame for your sweaty palms, and you feel your nerves and excitement begin to rise, your heartbeat pounding along with the crescendo sounds of a drumbeat emanating from the open doors. Just outside, a woman sits at a foldout table handing out name tags. As you approach, she smiles, glances at her list, and hands you the white sticker with your name printed neatly on it. "How are you? I am so glad you made it!" she says. "I'm good," you reply reflexively. "It's great to see you too. This should be a fun evening!" As you utter the words, you hope it'll be true-after all, it's your thirtieth high school reunion.

Suddenly those nerves you felt earlier in the evening are back. You cannot place the face that is smiling back at you. This man who is probably just shy of fifty years old doesn't resemble any of your former teenaged friends. Thankfully you remember that everyone is wearing a name tag-likely for this exact purpose. You quickly steal a glance down at his. "Wow, Doug! I can't believe it's you . . . You look great!" You hope you are better at lying than name recall, and for a second you worry that the reason you couldn't remember Doug's name was because of some sort of age-related memory loss. No, that'...
