We all look forward to the off season so we can kick back, relax with friends and a cold beer. Now that its here I find myself restless and feeling like a slug. I went for a run today, just a little 5k, working on heart rate training, an off-season...

Can you imagine? You are  building a new train station, and every time you put a shovel to the ground you dig up an ancient statue, vase or Roman coin. This is the case in Porto Torres--a working dock city on the island of Sardinia.  Like a...

Being from the Chicago area, I can't think of anything better than having the White Sox and Cubs in the playoffs in the same season. That hasn't happened since 1906, so how cool would it be if they met in the World Series, like the Mets and Yankees did in...

There's passion on Manhattan. I felt it as soon as I arrived on the island. For me, a major part of this enthusiasm radiates from my fast-walking, subway-chasing, black-wearing, taxi-flagging urbanite daughters. The New York I know is viewed through their...

How many times do you have the opportunity to talk to someone who is 102 years old? I had that pleasure when I called to check in on John Donnelly, my favorite over-100 years old athlete. His first comment to me was if we had created a 100-105 year...

Growing Bolder is often about finding ways to do more with less. While we’re all milking every mile from our gas tanks, there is one community in America that seems unconcerned about the price of gas. Truth is, many who live there don’t even...

Each year I go on a motorcycle adventure to somewhere on the North American Continent. I don't travel the main roads, but opt for the back roads and even dirt roads that criss-cross throughout our great country. This year my destination was Eastern...

Growing Bolder Note: This a fabulous 2007 wrap-up written by Roger McGuinn's wife Camilla. As always, it's a fascinating tale that starts in the present and occasionally "timeshifts" to add context to the present. October 10, 2007: Roger was...
