Aging Well in the Gorge ~ January, 24th 2024
When I wrote last week’s column, I thought the winter storm weather was over. Boy was I wrong! It wasn’t until Saturday morning that I could shovel out my car, and I might add without the help of my neighbor – although I certainly could have used him! I don’t enjoy slipping and sliding on […]

After my wife and I spent nine nights visiting our children in San Diego and San Luis Obispo, it was nice to come back home.

Aging Well in the Gorge ~ December 20th, 2023
Tis the Christmas Season: a time for memories that stir our senses: cookies baking in the oven, houses sparkling with Christmas lights, and bells ringing at local grocery stores. It’s also a time to remember how we have been blessed in our chronologically advantaged age. But sometimes it is hard, particularly at this time of […]
Aging Well in the Gorge ~ December 13th, 2023
It’s Christmas time: the annual rite of exchanging gifts with my adult children; trying to decide what I should buy for them. Should I buy clothes – but will they be the right style and size? Or I could buy a trendy gadget – but will it just be stored away with all the other […]
