Fashion After Forty
After looking at the runways and watching preteens model body-skimming, skin-baring, made-for-a-totem-pole designs, I wonder if fashion has left me behind.

My 6-year-old son has decided to play football. I wasn’t prepared for his getting involved in competitive sports at such a young age. Is a 6-year-old ready for the big leagues? Am I ready for this?
