Sit down with your daughter...

Once in a while a friend or stranger will surprise me and mention something I wrote about in a column then ask a question or make a comment challenging my fitness wisdom or foolishness. We have a friendly chat and I end with the...

I have written several columns for you that have included the suggestion of visiting a winery or tasting room. I've had questions asking how to go about this, what to expect when you get there, and “How do I keep from making a fool...
