SENIOR FEET: REINVENTING SHOE SALES

My senior feet are on a mission: long walks over rugged trails. Call it hiking if you must, but ‘long walk’ works too. Hiking has intent. My intention is breaking a good sweat out in parts of nature that need particular shoes. Maybe ‘hiking boots?’

UNDERSTANDING SPORTS FOR THE NON-SPORTY

For starters, understanding sports, if you don’t already, and you’re past fifty years old, where have you been? But it does happen. One sign is when you hear, “Why aren’t there more touchdowns in baseball?” Or, “Do you shoot a field goal, or kick a field goal?” “Yes,” is the right answer, but first:

FAMILY ROADSHOW WITHOUT THE ANTIQUES

The Family Roadshow is the same as the show on OPB but with livelier stories.
