Not too long ago, Ginger Baker died.
Whenever I think of Ginger Baker, I think of my brother, Paul. Whenever I think of Paul I think of my heroes. Whenever I think of my heroes, I think of how attached I am to the music of the 1970’s. &nbs…

We bought a new car a couple of weeks ago. Check that. We bought a wiz bang, interactive, computer-operated, Bluetoothed, voice-activated, high-tech rocket sled with more options than a fully armed F-16.
This car isn’t a product of Detroit.…

Daylight Savings Time is once again upon us. And that’s bad news for a lot of folks.

The Early Years
Willie Mays was born in Westfield, Alabama, some ten miles west of Birmingham, in 1931, and he later admitted that he sometimes went to school barefoot. But 73 years later, in 2004, he received a Doctorate of Humane Letters from…

Exercise is life. Well almost. If you take out genetics, exercise is probably the most important thing in maintaining health and youthful vigor. But here’s the rub (not that kind of rub): As Manopause creeps in, we can’t do everything we did…

My current marriage of ten years is pretty awesome but, let me tell you, it is hard work. I am continually amazed at the number of people who are envious at the ease of my marriage. I have many friends who swoon over my marriage and assume that because…

How it all began
With nothing to do, nowhere to go, and socially locked down, I now share more household responsibilities, including making the bed. Bed-making has opened a new insight into my life: I have a new crusade. Not the bed so much as the…

Business
Let’s be honest, to find the will to write a will is a struggle as we get older. There are plenty of reasons to do everything else but plan a will. Most of us would rather hit the golf course or hang out with our buddies, rather than write a dry document…

A common mistake that older folks, like us, tend to make is that we start to settle. We start to believe the false notion that after a certain age, life’s opportunities have closed shop. This is of course not true; we are still capable of dreaming…

Are You Destined To Become A Weak Old Man?
Haven’t we associated old age with weakness? Why is this so?
Haven’t people seen Rodney Hahn, the 54-year old record holder for pull-ups (see below)? Why can’t every grey haired man do 6737 pull-ups?…

Of the 35 countries I have been to over the last few years, a new one has replaced my old number one as the most magnificent place I have ever visited. It is a country that I knew little about and was not overly excited to go to, and…

Last fall after an action-packed weekend in Vancouver, I decided to head back to Canada for more, but this time with my French dictionary in hand and a ticket to Montréal. I crossed a couple of time zones, but it was still an easy overnight flight…

Time Is Not Money
For as long as I can remember we’ve been told time is money. But, of course, that’s not true. If time were money, I’d be rich, because I have all the time in the world. Just to be sure, I checked my bank account. Yup. Time is definitely…
