Ferragut: Boomer’s heart still booming
I started having problems with my heart eight years ago. I was a dedicated racquetball player, and there were days that I played so well I felt like I couldn’t lose. But there were other days that by 10 points into the first game, I was out of breath, light-headed and sweating like a Southern diplomat.

Ferragut: In life change is certain
When I was 13, my perception of a 60-year-old man was based on grandfathers, uncles, the businessmen and politicians who ran the country; the images I’d see on television, in newspapers and in magazines.

Ferragut: Gates, Buffett lead way
Anyone who’s ever picked up a hitchhiker, served food at a homeless shelter, stopped to help a stranded motorist, returned a lost wallet, dropped a couple of bucks in the Salvation Army’s Red Bucket, helped an elder with groceries or engaged in other selfless acts knows the rush of giving.

Ferragut: A nation always at war?
It would be ridiculous to try to write something original on the insanity of war. The brightest minds have been immortalized by their opinions on war.

Ferragut: Summer music nostalgia
I get nostalgic in the summer. It’s because longing for these three hallowed months starts in January.

Ferragut: Young of heart and mind
To paraphrase a quote I saw recently: Apart from catching my image in the mirror, there is absolutely nothing to remind me that I’m anything but a 19-year-old lad.

Ferragut: Optimism, hope stomped down by vicious schoolyard politics
