It turns out, the secret of enjoying the “golden years” is NOT simply having a giant nest egg for retirement Why? Recent research showed that Baby Boomers and seniors who lead an active lifestyle during retirement, and continue doing the things they truly enjoy, free of pain, ARE happier, regardless of income level or wealth. And truth be told, people who don’t have their mobility to enjoy their favorite activities at that age, all the money in the world won’t bring true happiness.

EDITORIALS Bring some magic to Chicago’s Pedway — or at least some maps Chicago, city of skyscrapers and elevated trains, needs to cast its eyes low once in a while. The Pedway, the useful but intimi- dating underground passageway, could use some help. On cold or rainy days, especially, the idea of hustling through the Loop in a weather- proof pedestrian tunnel has its charms — except when it doesn’t. As Mary Wis- niewski reports in the Tribune, sections of the Pedway become quite ripe in winter, when it provides refuge for people who don’t have ready access to a public bath- room. At least one leg of the Pedway is a de- light: The section that traverses Block 37 is part of that State Street shopping mall, a well-lit oasis with sandwich shops and the like. What commuter wouldn’t enjoy such a twice-daily journey? Other portions of the Pedway are dank, confusing or worse. If you aren’t in the know, the Pedway is a maze of underground walkways that hop- scotch across downtown south of the Chi- cago River. One well-traversed segment stretches west from Aon Center along Randolph Street, touching Metra and CTA stops, the Chicago Cultural Center and Macy’s, snaking toward City Hall. Want to get from Prudential Plaza northeast to the Swissotel on the Chicago River? You can do that, too, if you’re in on the secret. The downside is that the walkways are hard to find from surface streets and lob- bies, and once you do make your way underground, you may not like what you experience.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Dig deeper, archdiocese Your article “Chicago Catholics look to challenges of future” (Jan. 6) de- scribes the Renew My Church initiative of the Archdiocese of Chicago, intended to deal with the ongoing disappearance of priests on the altar and people (and their dollars) in the pews. It also delin- eates the initiative’s inherent limitations. Renew My Church looks mainly at expenses. It doesn’t look at increasing archdiocesan funds by increasing the number of people in the pews and in- creasing the number of priests to min- ister to them. Why? Because looking at that crashes into the episcopal group- think — the way bishops choose to think about the Catholic Church.

Jill Schlesinger Jill on Money Big questions to consider this year We should have seen this coming a mile away. After nearly 10 years of surging stock markets, punctuated by a stellar 2017, 2018 had to be a disappointment. With the turbulent year in the rear-view mirror, it’s time to look ahead and tee up five questions that will frame 2019. 1. How will the U.S. economy perform? 2018 was likely the strongest year of growth since 2005 (final figures will be available in January), but with the impact of the tax cuts receding and interest hikes already causing a slowdown in some sec- tors such as housing, the economy is likely to lose momentum in 2019. Estimates for Gross Domestic Product range from 2.5 to 2.8 percent, which should FIZKES/DREAMSTIME still be strong enough to create jobs, main- tain a low unemployment rate and keep wages rising. 2. Will interest rates keep rising? The Fed raised short-term interest rates four times in 2018 to a range of 2.25 to 2.5 per- TRY A TECH cent. Based on recent predictions, it ex- pects two increases in 2019, as growth moderates.

NFL Foles denied big finish in possible Eagles finale By Brett Martel | Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS – Nick Foles got the Eagles off to a fast start, only to be robbed of another fantastic finish by a veteran receiver’s uncharacteristic drop. “Football is a funny sport, especially playoff football. It’s tough,” Foles said after a tense 20-14 divisional playoff loss in New Orleans on Sunday. “We started the game off hot, battled the rest of the game and gave ourselves an opportunity to win at the end.” Indeed, Foles had the Eagles inside the Saints 30 with just less than two minutes left when his accurate slant pass bounced off of normally reliable receiver Alshon Jeffery’s hands and fell into the arms of Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore, virtually sealing the Eagles’ fate. “I honestly felt at the bottom of my heart that when we walked out on the field, we’d been in that situation so many times that we were going to find a way to score a touchdown,” said Eagles tight end Zach Ertz, whose 16-yard catch over the middle helped get the Eagles’ final drive rolling. “We were really close. BUTCH DILL/AP That’s how it’s been all year.

By Liz Clarke The Washington Post

Having amassed 23 Grand Slam singles titles, four Olympic gold medals and $88.2 million in win- nings over a 23-year pro career, Serena Williams has precious lit- tle more to achieve on a tennis court. But the 2019 Australian Open, which heralds the tennis season’s start in earnest as the first of the four majors, presents one more benchmark. With a 24th Grand Slam championship, the 37-year- old Williams would tie Margaret Court’s record of major titles. For the countless sports fans unfamiliar with Court’s domi- nance of a gentler era of the game in the late 1950s to early 1970s, equaling Court’s mark would rep- resent a needless asterisk on Williams’ brilliant resume — a resume that needs no padding to make the case that she is the best player the women’s game has seen. But from a competitor’s per- spective, that’s hardly the point. “Champions are greedy in the sense of they want to keep racking up the Grand Slams,” says Hall of Fame inductee Chris Evert, who, like Williams, so dominated her era before retiring with 18 major titles that she scarcely allowed room for anyone else. “She is in a position where she can break some records in the tennis world.” When last seen at a major, Williams was in full-blown melt- down mode in the final of the 2018 U.S. Open, which was won by Japan’s Naomi Osaka, who held her poise and nerve down the stretch of a second set that teetered on brink of chaos. It was not Williams’ first unhinged dis- play on Arthur Ashe Stadium but her third; in this case, she called the chair umpire a “thief” and a “liar” amid a rapidly escalating series of penalties that incited the crowd and undermined her own cause. Asked during a recent confer- ence call with reporters if she felt the episode had tarnished Williams’ reputation, Evert pushed back, arguing that Williams’ career record of domi- nance would ultimately overshad- ow any episode when she “lost her cool” on court. The 2019 Australian Open, which gets underway Monday in Melbourne (Sunday in the United States), offers Williams a chance at a reset. It is her first tournament since her runner-up finish in New York in September. Based on her performance in singles and doubles at the recent Hopman Cup, Williams launches into the Australian Open leaner, quicker and more fit than she was last September, when she reached the finals of a second consecutive major within a year of a difficult childbirth. If Williams were to win her eighth Australian Open, it would represent a powerful bookend to her triumph in 2017, when she won the tournament while two months pregnant. Evert, for one, likes Williams’ chances despite her 16th seed, noting the tournament’s quick hard courts, which will accentu- ate her serve (her most lethal weapon), as well as her mental freshness and improved fitness. “She seems fitter than last year,” said Evert, now an ESPN tennis analyst. “The scary thought look- ing at the women, they have to be thinking at this point, ‘Gosh, she was 60, 70 percent last year reaching two finals, and now she seems fitter, leaner, she’s moving better.’ “ For reigning Australian Open champion Caroline Wozniacki, Williams’ transformation is cause for respect and inspiration.

JOHN LOCHER/AP People watch real-time puck and player tracking technology on display during a game between the Vegas Golden Knights and the San Jose Sharks last week in Las Vegas. NHL testing on track Puck, player tracking technology could be boon for broadcasters, fans, gamblers By Stephen Whyno Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — On one screen live video was showing how many feet per second Erik Karlsson was skating. On another was a video- game-like visualization of the game on the ice below between Vegas and San Jose. Nearby screens flashed prop bets — where the next goal would be scored from? would Max Pacioretty skate 3 miles tonight? — as odds were updated by the second. In a hallway high up in T- Mobile Arena, virtual reality head- sets provided a view of the game from the perspective of anyone from Marc-Andre Fleury to Joe Thornton to a fan in section 214.
