Where, Oh, Where Could My Senior Discount Be?
When do you cross the line from middle age to senior citizen? It depends on who's offering the membership or discount. According to the AARP, you're officially there when you're just 50 and they invite you to join. The federal government stretches it to 65, when you first qualify to receive social security and Medicare benefits.

Wisconsin First Timers
From Steve Querrey: "My wife & I have never been to Wisconsin (we live in southern Iowa). We would like to find somewhere to go during the 2nd or 3rd week of October.

This Reader Sez, "Boycott The Nags Head Inn"
From John Morris: "Several weeks ago I stayed at the Nags Head Inn with a dear friend of mine. Her recent bout of chemotherapy had rendered her nearly immobile due to, among many other things, terrible pain and severe blistering of her feet. Being the eternal optimist that she is, she had hoped to be feeling better by the time we checked out, two days later. Hoping to find a modicum of compassion at the Nags Head Inn, I asked the staff at the front desk if we could stay a few hours past check-out, given the extraordinary circumstances. Much to my surprise, considering the typically generous attitudes I've encountered when visiting other establishments in the Outer Banks, the answer was no." more>
