  • Mythbusting old-age adages

    You don’t need as much sleep as you age; you will inevitably get dementia if you live long enough; older people shouldn’t exercise strenuously for fear of injury. We grow up hearing such tropes, but many of them are not borne out in science.
     

  • Memoir writing: Cathartic and stimulating

    For Tony Cond, writing a memoir was revelatory. “I’ve had a really good life,” he realized upon its completion. “This book is a culmination of me being able to say that to myself.” 

    One could do worse than having that kind of insight after revisiting the past.

  • Surrendering the keys

    How do you know it’s time to hang up the car keys for good? Is it when you hit 80? When you’ve had a stroke? When your kids sit you down and say, “You need to call it quits”? 

    Turns out it could be any or none of the above.

  • Saving memories for the future

    Most of us of a certain age have treasured photo albums, with perhaps a few shoe boxes full of loose memories. And what about those tapes or reels you can no longer play because you don’t have the applicable player?

  • Search looks for exact, case-insensitive keywords; keywords shorter than a minimum length are ignored.
  • Use upper-case OR to get more results. Example: cat OR dog (content contains either "cat" or "dog").
  • You can use upper-case AND to require all words, but this is the same as the default behavior. Example: cat AND dog (same as cat dog, content must contain both "cat" and "dog").
  • Use quotes to search for a phrase. Example: "the cat eats mice".
  • You can precede keywords by - to exclude them; you must still have at least one "positive" keyword. Example: cat -dog (content must contain cat and cannot contain dog).
