Daily cycling is secret to 96-year-old gentleman’s health and happiness

Daily cycling is secret to 96-year-old gentleman’s health and happiness: “‘I’m strictly a recreational cyclist,’ he says. ‘I’ve never been one of those guys who gets on a bike and sees how fast I can go. I just trudge along at my own leisurely pace. But I’ve been doing it almost all my life.’ Jack Thacker, who will be 97 in October. He cycles about 12 miles every day and credits his daily bike routine, in part, for his good health. (via LACM)

The Chokehold of Calendars

Meetings may be toxic, but calendars are the superfund sites that allow that toxicity to thrive. All calendars suck. And they all suck in the same way. Calendars are a record of interruptions. And quite often they’re a battlefield over who owns whose time.

That’s a glorious intro sentence, worth quoting here for posterity.
