remembering dad

Bay seniors, when interrogated by their children with the annual question, “What do you want for Father’s Day?” might suggest a gift membership in the California Genealogical Society. Haven’t you noticed how the older we get the more we seem to be interested in our distant predecessors – who they were, how they got here, […]

free for all

Geezers watching with alarm as the stock market nose dives will certainly appreciate the tremendous variety of activities this upcoming weekend that are absolutely, officially free. All National Parks will be charging no entry fee (not clear on camping fees). The annual Band Festival on the Music Concourse in Golden Gate Park is gratis, as […]

hear here

Bay seniors balking at the price of hearing aids ($4,000 and up, up, up) will be relieved to hear that audio researchers are busy creating devices that will make it possible for us to join in conversations at even the most raucous restaurants. Directional microphone apps for your iPhone that filter out excess noise are only […]

hey,venus

Bay seniors curious to know what’s going on Out There can view the Transit of Venus at Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland on June 5. Venus will be visible as it passes between the sun and earth. You don’t want to miss this. It won’t happen again for 243 years. Tickets still available. […]

Though it’s considered a martial art, for non-combative geezers it’s more of a relaxation technique. It couldn’t hurt […]

package tours

Let other seniors be herded aboard cruise ships the size of San Jose. If you’re looking for sea travel with privacy, only a handful of other passengers, and stops at non-tourist locales, you might want to consider freighters.  Seriously, quite a few of them now offer accommodations that are clean and comfortable, decent meals with […]

smallville

Bay seniors shouldn’t mistake the concrete crossroads of Highways 580 and 680 for the town of Pleasanton. Yes, there are malls and business parks all over this booming section of the Tri-Valley. But downtown Pleasanton itself is a pleasant surprise , especially on a warm summer night strolling down the few blocks of Main Street […]
