I have been thrown into the blog world as an assignment in a computer class. This brings back bad memories of 8th grade English journal assignments. Is there any directory or way to find blogs related to something I might give a fig about? Fitness, hiking, vegetarians??? Thanks. Debra

No, not Jane Fonda & Gin Miller, but the Venice Beach guys. Jack LaLanne is celebrating his 90th birthday tomorrow! His wife Elain has nixed some of his celebratory ideas but I bet he's got something cooked up. His shows are on ESPN classic. Harold Zinkin, the inventor of the Universal...

I've had recurrent knee problems since last September. I finally worked my way up the HMO treatment ladder to an orthopedic surgeon. The meniscus is either torn or jagged & the ACL is not functioning properly. He recommends surgery for the meniscus (3 week recovery). I can also opt to have...

At my Dr.'s urging, I tried a water fitness class yesterday. It would have been fantastic to attend an Aquajock class, but alas, Annette lives a few thousand miles away. Anyhow, it was a lot of fun. I felt a bit out of place with the white haired ladies & 2 men that could play the Grinch...

Can somone who has snowshoed give me a little guidance? 1) Is there some technique involved or do you just go out & shuffle? 2) Poles? 3) Where? Should a beginner just find a road closed for winter? Or use a hiking trail? Seems like navigation might be a little tough on a hiking...

DH has a conference in Breckenridge in late April. Am I right in guessing that there will still be plenty of snow :+ at 10000' for nordic skiing or snowshoeing? Hopefully Gretchen or another Coloradian will respond. Of course, breathing might be a new challenge since we live at sea level...

Has anyone read Walter Willett's book "Eat, Drink & Be Healthy"?There's an interesting interview with him in the winter issue of "Eating Well". I'd better disclose that he rides his bike to work at Harvard so I had a positive impression right away. Willett has redone the food pyramid with a...
