I’d rather take a long walk with the dogs, read a new book or watch seasonal birds at the feeder." In this month's Simple Life, founding editor Jim Dodson contemplates "The Pleasures of Good Old Age."

Love is in the air at Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts. And we're not talking about the butterflies-in-your-stomach romance that's over before it even began. No, we're talking about the kind of love that lasts decades. Fifty years for the Harrolds and 60 for the Greensteins, both couples ushers at the local performing arts center.
