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.

In this episode, The Old Dogs ramble about some of the things we've come to appreciate that seem to lengthen our lives. We report on a major infestation of Peacocks in affluent Houston neighborhoods. Paul tries to stump the older Old Dog again, with mixed results, again. And we offer the New York Times opinion on the seven keys to longevity. The Old Dogs conversation is the second part of our fascinating chat with Susan Lieberman, whose new book, In the Country of Old, offers a fresh way of approaching the state of being old.
