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 144
The Old Dogs ramble about those grade-school lunchboxes featuring TV characters. We propose the useful idea of turning abandoned shopping malls into apartment homes. We ponder the notion of robot pets. We note with terror the rise of vending machines that dispense bullets. And we wonder why the average English speaker has such a small vocabulary. The Old Dogs conversation is with Dietmar Neidhardt, an oil and gas executive who retired and found a new passion making gelato.
