Sixty Things To Do When You Turn Sixty is a collection of essays (including one by Chris) that speaks to the reader who has or will soon turn 60. The collection includes essays that are practical, covering subjects like health care, fitness, finance, and business, and also essays that are more reflective, more whimsical, or more reassuring, or just plain laugh-out-loud funny. All royalties are donated to cancer research.

On her latest album, The Girl in the Other Room, Diana Krall covers Chris’s song “Love Me Like a Man”. The album, which also features songs by Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell, Mose Allison, and Elvis Costello, is in stores now.
