As a 57-year-old man who’s legally blind, when I was asked to review Braille Legos, I thought, maybe I’m too old to play with kids’ toys. But I was quickly reminded of something my dad used to say: “Adults are just kids over 48 inches tall.” With this assignment, I intend to channel my inner child as much as possible.

Barber II, 60, and his 90-year-old mother went to see ‘The Color Purple.’ Barber brought his own chair to the theater because he has a rare form of arthritis known as ankylosing spondylitis, an inflammatory disease that makes it hard for him to sit in or rise from low chairs.
