Dear Doctors: I’m a 55-year-old man, and I have been active all my life. I know target heart rates are based on age and was surprised that my heart rate while running is often between 150 and 195. Should I slow down a bit? I jog alone in a rural area and rarely carry my phone. Is this dangerous?

Dear Annie: My husband recently bought an old classic car, the kind he has dreamed about since he was 17. He made the purchase after seeing one roaring down Main Street with the top down. It is shiny, loud, impractical and, according to him, “an investment.” According to me, it is a very expensive midlife crisis with chrome bumpers.

Dear Annie: The emotional weight of letting items go

Dear Annie: I recently cleaned out my mother’s house after she moved into assisted living, and I thought the hardest part would be the boxes. I was wrong. The hardest part was realizing that every drawer held a memory, and with memory came with a decision.

Miss Manners: ‘Oh! That’s … different’

DEAR MISS MANNERS: I have an unusual first name. When I am introduced to a new acquaintance, often they will make a comment. When the comment is, “What a pretty name,” it is easy to respond with, “Thank you.”

Tony Awards 2026: “Schmigadoon!” wins best musical in a season saved by revivals

It was a strange year on Broadway, but then it’s been strange everywhere. Our world at times seems downright unrecognizable, with politicians acting like mob bosses, AI transforming not just the internet but potentially the entire economy, the cost of living leaving only the super rich able to keep up, and I won’t even mention the climate crisis, but the forecast calls for more doom and gloom.

Tony Awards 2026: Bess Wohl’s Pulitzer-Prize-winning ‘Liberation’ is crowned best play

Bess Wohl's "Liberation" has won the Tony Award for best new play — a validation not just of her work but of the discernment of Tony voters. A playful work of historical reclamation, it re-creates a women's consciousness-raising group at an Ohio recreation center in the 1970s. The play, which received the Pulitzer Prize this year, was hands down the best work I read or saw since last year's ...

Ask the doctors: Talk to doctor before going off medication

Dear Doctors: My doctor recently increased the dosage of my blood pressure medications. I want to try a natural route to reduce high blood pressure, but it appears that is for people not taking any drugs. How should I approach this issue? Can I stop my meds and go natural?

Dear Annie: A birthday card full of questions

Dear Annie: My sister and I have not spoken in three years following a falling-out over our mother’s estate. I won’t rehash the details – suffice it to say, neither of us came out looking entirely clean. We were never close growing up, but we were friendly enough as adults, and I miss that.

‘A footnote in rock and roll history’: 50 years ago, concertgoers rioted in North Idaho at Nor’Wester ‘76

The thousands of concertgoers who arrived in Stateline half a century ago expected to see rock and roll royalty with planned sets from Blue Öyster Cult, Bachman-Turner Overdrive and Heart. Blue Öyster Cult, headed for success that summer with their most successful single "(Don't Fear) The Reaper," did in fact perform, but the weekend ended with the speedway smoldering and still-hazy explanations about why the festival was called off on Saturday just before rioters caused an estimated quarter million dollars in damage.
