GET TO IT
A guide to help make your day
Going out
• Cheap date: Fifty cents gets you into National Active Older Adults Day, 9 a.m-noon at Gamble-Nippert YMCA in Westwood. Get your blood pressure taken, or strrrrr-etch with your friends at Stretch Without Strain or Seniors in Motion classes. 661-1105.
• Oh, deer: Learn how to co-exist with the deer, the state of Ohio's official mammal, at the Urban Deer Program 7 p.m. today, Winton Centre Auditorium in Winton Woods, Springfield Township. Free (parking $1). 521-7275.
Staying in
• Critic's picks: Yada, yada, yada. The Seinfeld episode which popularized that phrase, uttered to paper over unpleasant details, repeats today on WSTR-TV (7:30 p.m., Channel 64). And TV Critic John Kiesewetter also notes that Dr. Church (Sheryl Lee) is seriously hurt in a car crash on the season finale of L.A. Doctors (10 p.m., Channels 12, 7).
• Web site of the day: At www.MyFamily.com set up a private family Web site. Post news headlines on the main page that links to more detailed information. You can develop a joint calendar, and there's a secure chat area. There's even an online photo album.
Week of the week
• White-glove time: Celebrate National Etiquette Week by signing up the kids, grades 3-5, for “Etiquette for Tomorrow” classes, taught June 19, 26 and 29 at the Cincinnati Art Museum by Lelia Boyd, a graduate of the Protocol School of Washington. $125 please, and thank you. 753-9143.
• The right stuff. Sure, her husband circled Earth in space capsules twice in his life, but observers say Annie Glenn faced a challenge just as difficult: overcoming stuttering. The wife of retired astronaut/senator John Glenn is 1999 honorary chair of National Stuttering Awareness Week, which begins today. Info: National Stuttering Foundation, (800) 992-9392.
What's in stores today
• Ouchie stickers: No more flesh-colored bandages for this colorfast generation. Kids can cover their cuts and scrapes with tattoo bandages (last year's rage) and new Sticker Creations bandages (this year's offering) from Band-Aid.
