76 Walks Daily, Mostly to the Mailbox ~ Men's Birthday Tee

Walks Daily, Mostly to the Mailbox ~ Seventy-Six Gets His Steps In, Then Sits Down

The doctor said walk every day, and he does: driveway, mailbox, flip the flag, driveway. Seventy-six years of doing exactly what he was told in the smallest possible way. For the man who calls the mail carrier by first name and considers the trip exercise.

• Wife's Report: She knows the walk takes four minutes and the sitting afterward takes two hours.
• Grandkids' Laugh: They race him to the box and he lets them win, mostly.
• Easy Birthday: His 76th should be a card in the mailbox and a chair at the end of the walk.
