The last video I could find was made in 2019 when he was just a mere youngster at the ripe old age of 101. This man is filled with plenty of sage advice for how he is still hitting the slopes and an inspiration to those of us who want to stay active for as long as possible.

Alas the topic for this week’s column was found following a rabbit trail of videos and articles for much longer than I care to admit. Fortunately, it Read More

It often concludes (unsatisfactorily) with uncertain believability and empathy/sympathy with one side or the other Read More
