She’s 98. He’s 94. They Met at the Gym.

“Age doesn’t mean a damn thing to me or to Gert,” the groom said. “We don’t see it as a barrier. We still do what we want to do in life.”

Sooner is better.   As soon as you can is best.

The Upshot

It’s Not Irrational. It’s Signaling Behavior.

Puzzling behavior by senators in the health care debate makes a lot more sense if you view it as part of a signaling game.

Loyalty based politics lost to rational behavior.
The U.S. of A. was lucky again.

Stop Treating 70- and 90-Year-Olds the Same

Human diversity reaches its apex in old age, but health care doesn’t reflect that.

Traditionally there were no frail elderly.
The frail die quickly.

"Oh king, live forever!"

After Deadly Crashes, Marines Ground Aircraft

The 24-hour operational resets come after two accidents in recent weeks that killed 16 service members and left three missing and presumed dead.

The V-22 is a faulty design.

The proper fix is to start over.
As long as the V-22 flies it will kill its crews.

How to Ignore Your Kids’ Bad Behavior and Yet Be Fully Present for Them

New books on how to mete out gentle discipline, ignore tantrums and still pay maximum attention to your kids (as well as talk to them about Trump).

I hope I am game if I don't have to do it all.

A Classic London Restaurant Gets a Makeover and a New Mission

The kitchen at Bibendum is now run by Claude Bosi, and the result is both familiar and exciting.

Food as entertainment.
I am still trying to master portion control.
I find it difficult to cook for one.

American Says He’s Not London Jogger Who Shoved Woman in Front of Bus

Lawyers for the 41-year-old, an executive living in the British capital, said the police had arrested the wrong man.

Somebody blundered.

London has a plethora of cameras on the streets.
Exercise clothing is not that dominant in the foot traffic.
Exercise tends to be a pattern.
