...news in the Surgeon General's report on physical activity this week is that most Americans don't do nearly enough. One in four, in fact, don't do any at all. The good news is that you don't have to run a marathon to enjoy the health benefits of regular exercise. Washing and waxing your car may be enough. (No, going to the drive-through car wash doesn't count.) Here are some recommended activities, courtesy of the U.S. government...

The game predated my Crimson days, so I was planted three rows behind the Terrier bench at the old Boston Garden with my roommates. Along with Opening Day at Fenway and the Boston Marathon, the Beanpot makes the city of Boston come to a standstill...
