Baby Boomers are running, walking, and cycling in vast numbers. And, like our younger counterparts, we do like our gadgets. The Sportline Trail Tracker Sport Pack has everything you want on your run, except maybe a First Aid station.

College Football Tickets

Going to college in the early 70's, my idea of college sports was Zen frisbee, protests, and marathon pot-smoking. In fact it wasn't until now, living with a Buckeye fan, that I almost 'get' the college football thing. Then factor in a kid at a Big 12 school and suddenly I'm all about college football. If you've caught the fever and hope to wave at your kids across the student section, try StubHub for some hard-to-get tickets.
