Stronger Monday: C’mon. Over your head.
It's good to be a little stronger. So it's easier to climb a steep stairway. Or a mountain. Easier to pick up packages. And put them up on a shelf - above your head. As you get older, you inevitably lose some muscle mass. But you don't have to lose muscle strength. Here's another Way to increase and maintain it.

Feet, Shoes, and Hiking: A Short History
I should be sore. But I'm not. After two weeks of steep mountain hiking. Tens of miles on the trail. Miles of elevation gain at high altitudes. I'm pretty sure it's my new trail shoes. I thought I should tell you because you're more likely to hit the trail when you're confident about having an easy, comfortable hike.
Slower Sunday: And the livin’s easy
Summertime. In San Francisco. Most tourists head for the Golden Gate. Or the top of Nob Hill. I go straight to the basement of the Academy of Sciences. To the tank. It's easy. Well, it looks easy. Press Play. See for yourself.
Bring your own.
Problem's always how to pack and carry something you'd really like to eat on a plane or in a car. And not make a mess of it. Then I found the Lunch Pot. Same idea as your old lunchbox. Or lunch pail. But much cooler. And neater.
