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.
New Tricks for Old Dogs
Episode No. 140: "Trash Talking Mt. Everest"
•
Paul Menzel, Jim Conlan
The Old Dogs ramble about challenges older dogs can successfully complete - unlike climbing Everest. We mention Everest because it happens to be the world's highest garbage dump. We introduce a new feature: commentary by our League of Literate Ladies - this time with Kathy Biehl. We report on the North American Wife-Carrying Championship. We introduce you to a mature lady who was able to save the best for last. And we acquaint you with the dangers of opening Champaign bottles. The Old Dogs Conversation is with Gika Rector. A practitioner of the Feldenkrais technique. It's gonna make you feel a whole lot better.
