    Thanks for your email, Brain Health Team co-Captain Cathy!  Guess I need to record my half hour swim and 30 minute walk & riding the Nustep.  I also walked the Woodcroft trails for 45 minutes yesterday.  Isn't the weather great for walking?  Well, except for yesterday evening when the wind could blow you away.

      Sounds like you are well on your way with your exercise program.  Dan and I are talking about how to keep up our exercising after this Ecochallenge ends.

    Just read the article whose link you posted last, Derek.  It's very appropriate for me as I see the types of activities at John's assisted living.  I really like this quote, "Narrative, music, art, and animals provide varying means to engage with elderly audiences, but the result is the same—feelings of community, empathy, joy, and purpose."

    There is an all day program called Conscious Aging at our church, based on the book From Age-ing to Sage-ing.  I just signed up hoping to find a "New Vision of Growing Older", with the many challenges that aging presents.

    It's a rainy warm day, perfect weather to spend a little time getting my yoga dvd up and running.  This yoga program was developed by my teacher who has a Friday morning class I enjoy regularly.  The practice of yoga has made a real difference in my maintaining a healthy body into my eighties.

      A great habit. I feel many benefits from my tai chi practice.

    Alzheimer's has come to stay in our family and it has changed our lives in ways we could never have anticipated.  I visited the site you listed, Derek,  "Preventing Alzheimer's" and there are several of the six pillars I plan to focus on.  The first one is actually Pillar #1, so off I go, taking a two mile walk on the Woodcroft trails!
