Diverse perspectives
People who have a passion for traveling abroad often say they relish the opportunity to learn about different cultures, hear unfamiliar languages, meet people from varied backgrounds — in short, to have mind-broadening experiences that change the way they see the world. While there’s nothing like international travel to accomplish those goals, I think most of us could have similar... READ MORE
Saving faces
We’re all told to be careful with our IDs because of the burgeoning crime of identity theft. For example, we shouldn’t share our Social Security numbers with businesses or publicize our birth date on social media because facts such as these can help thieves access our bank accounts, falsely claim our tax refunds or apply for credit cards in our names. But there’s one aspect of... READ MORE
Heads in a fog
Is it me or are more people driving around today with their heads in the clouds than before? Drivers have always had distractions, whether from kids roughhousing in the back seat, cars rubbernecking at an accident, or the urgent need to change the radio station or CD. But today, we have more things than ever clamoring for our attention when we drive. Some of them are external and... READ MORE
Home sweet home
The other day, we received a call from a gentleman who told us, in no uncertain terms, that our readers were staying in their homes for too long, and that they should sell their homes to young families so that those folks could have a chance to live the suburban lifestyle, too. His basic message was that older adults should not be so selfish as to stay in their nice big homes when there... READ MORE
Not in our family
Back in the 1970s, a progressive TV sitcom poked fun at certain members of an older generation for their prejudices and beliefs, at the same time revealing a glimpse of the humanity that could sometimes shine through the tough, stained exterior of a bigot. The family portrayed in All in the Family consisted of Archie Bunker, a man full of more bunk than one would have thought possible,... READ MORE
Being innovative
In December, I attended a national conference that highlighted the latest innovations in products and services for older adults. Attendees represented companies large and small, start-ups and long-established brands, as well as research institutes and associations like AARP and the National Council on the Aging. I came away excited about what I learned, and energized by the creative... READ MORE

Let’s be more critical
No one likes a critic. Criticism is often shared in harsh ways, in which case it can be destructive rather than constructive. And let’s face it, even constructive criticism is seldom appreciated at the time! On the other hand, perhaps we should all be a bit more critical in how we read and understand things. Reading (and thinking) critically are more important today than ever, living... READ MORE
