Walk a 100 Miles in 100 Days

Hi Folks,

Are you up to a challenge?

How about Walking 100 miles in 100 days?

How Seniors Can Improve Their Brain

 Hi Folks,

The following post is a reprint of my post of January 9, 2010 on my other blog retirement on a budget. It was such a poplar post that I decided to also post it on this blog as, surprising enough, very few people read both of my blogs.

Hey Senior, have you exercised your brain today?
