December is full of family traditions. They’re part of what makes this month so special. And while family traditions take a bit of planning, Janet Kargo will tell you it is so worth it.

As Henry Ford said, “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.” Spending time with nature is a very effective way to continue to learn.

Autumn is here. The evening air is cool, fragrant and inviting, and it reminds me of those October walks that I took with Dad when I was just a kid.

Dad was an outdoorsman, and October marked the passage between the summer’s fishing trips and November’s hunting outings. Sometimes after dinner, he would walk the mile or so from our house to a pair of sporting goods stores—Mages and Klein’s, right across the street from each other on Harlem, a block or so north of Grand Avenue.
