I was cheering friends at the Dipsea trail race and saw a smiling 90-year-old reach the top of Mt. Tam.
I tracked Lloyd Kahn down to get his secrets about aging. He answered all the questions ... then took our @sfchronicle.com team skateboarding.

Our reporter saw a 90-year-old competing in the grueling Dipsea trail race earlier this year, and had questions. This Bay Area super-ager has answers … and took us skateboarding.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
