peruvian pets

Bay seniors with a fascination for furry beasts can learn how to groom, feed and interact with very social llamas at classes during March and April sponsored by East Bay Parks. $70 per llama (up to 3 people per llama). The organization has an endless schedule of activities this spring for adults and kids including flyfishing, […]

casting call

Bay seniors looking for exercise that won’t damage their knees, feet or backs might want to consider taking up the zen sport of fly fishing. Fortunately the formidable East Bay Regional Parks District is offering an introductory class at Lake Anza on Sunday October 12 from 7am (!) to 1pm. Fly casting lessons are alternated […]

veg out

Bay seniors can never underestimate the impact of our gourmet geezer, Alice Waters. If you doubt me, check out the Heirloom Expo at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds from Sept 11 to 13. It’s the world largest pure food fair with over 300 vendors, lectures and acres of tables groaning with non-genetically modified fruits and vegetables, […]

Bay seniors looking for a less strenuous caving activity should consider a visit to the volcanic rock caverns at Schramsberg Vineyards in Calistoga. Built in the 19th century by Chinese workers it’s a 2-mile,75-minute trek lit by candelabras and lined with 2.7 million bottles of chardonnay and pinot noir based sparkling wines.

Bay seniors know better than to hit popular trails on summer weekends. You might as well be on the sidewalks of Market Street. But mid-week we can have these paths of glory pretty much to ourselves. Among the Geezer’s top ten is Steep Ravine which unravels down the western slope of Mt.Tamalpais to Stinson Beach. […]

so rare

Bay seniors fascinated by unfamiliar flora will be hugely pleased to note the resuscitation of Western Hills Nursery in Occcidental near the Sonoma County coast. This celebrated site of very exotic plants was inches away from foreclosure when it’s 3 overgrown acres were rescued a few years ago. After a major cleanup it is back […]

giddyup

Bay seniors still disappointed that they only lived the frontier life thanks to Hopalong Cassidy, might want to consider checking out Borges Ranch in Walnut Creek. Built in 1901 it’s a weathered replica of the old west with cattle herds, corrals, roundups, even a blacksmith foundry. Today it’s a ranger station and on the National […]
