If you're looking for an active vacation that incorporates history, geography, great food and recreational bicycling, you might consider joining the 2020 FIDF Ride in Israel next fall. It's a week you'll never forget as you travel through the ancient land that has the magical touches of modernity and technology for which the Israelis are legendary.

If you want to see things happen, change, improve, and make your community (or your life) more interesting or easier or more fun, you might want to be the one who does something about it.

It’s getting a little easier, but there will always be a special place in my heart for our Boomer.

Enjoy these small bites of interesting topics, from a new documentary on Boomer-era kids' TV, to "Antiques Roadshow" in Akron, to an introduction to our NEO Boomer bloggers and a memoir on growing up Italian.

What's really happening in Russia? According to Russian Dmitry Nechaev, more than one million Russian men have left the country in the past several weeks, seeking escape from fighting in the war against Ukraine. Many men are hiding out in the forests and three of Dmitry’s crew were driven to the border by their wives, hopped on their bikes and rode for several days to cross into safe territory. Dmitry believes that Russia is ripe for a civil war and made it clear that he would be jailed for saying such things if he was still in the country.
