Opportunity to be interviewed by Paula Span at the NYT.

Interview requests for a New Old Age column: Are you 60-plus, experiencing one of these disabilities: severe vision or hearing impairment; problems walking or climbing stairs; a mental disability that hinders learning, concentration or memory; problems bathing or dressing; leaving home alone for doctors' appointments or shopping; difficulty working because of your condition?
BUT -- this is key -- do you identify yourself as a person with a disability? Yes? No?
Would you be willing to talk by phone about how you regard your ability, even if you fit one of those six categories? I will need to use your name, age and location. Message me here or paula[at]paulaspan.com Thanks. (Irrelevant photo just to attract eyeballs.)
