New Tricks for Old Dogs
Why are we howling at the moon? In the 60's and 70's our generation led a cultural revolution. Now that we are in our 60's and 70's we see another cultural revolution led by folks like us who refuse to act their age. We may be Old Dogs, but we can still learn New Tricks. This podcast celebrates that revolution. It features offbeat news items, social observations, adventure tips, shameless humor, and interviews with contemporaries who are still engaged with life.

Episode 71
In this episode The Old Dogs ask a dangerous question: Is Thanksgiving necessary? We bring news that Queen Elizabeth, age 95, has turned down an Oldie Award. We share an opportunity to take a round the world trip that covers almost a year. We take you to a place in Queens where they still serve malts and shakes the old fashioned way. We announce yet another rate increase from your favorite postal service. And we enumerate the high cost of Turkey Day this Thanksgiving. Our conversation is with JIM GREEN - a Doctor of Philosophy, a former Jesuit Scholastic, a fan of the Great Outdoors and an advocate of all things Native American.
