I have read that to prevent Alzheimer's there's a few things to practice and a life style to adopt. One is never stop learning. They used to say "do cross word puzzles" but now they say "learn" to do cross word puzzles (or something you have never done before -- like write left handed if you are right handed or climb mountains if you haven't or learn the Chinese language if you learned Spanish has a baby. Learn something new and practice anything to engage your brain!). I just hope learning new soft ware programs at work is one of the requisites of preventing Alzheimer's because we are having to do that every little bit! Ha!
(As an aside, my trusty Webster's New World Dictionary, copyrighted in 1981, does not contain the word Alzheimer's although according to the internet it was discovered 105 years ago in 1906.)
This past weekend, I practiced a few things and learned new things, that will hopefully help me Prevent Alzheimers. I'm not sure what it will do to prevent broken bones . . . hhmmm?
One activity I practiced was crawling around on a skinny 2 X 6 14 feet above a solid surface. Some day when we are waiting for paint to dry, I'll tell you just how it feels to lay on a 2X6" board high above a solid surface, clinging with one hand and taking a photo with the other -- while my better half, Himself, prances and preens and balances as tho he's a high wire artist.
Another new skill I'm practicing is using this brand new and long coveted automatic nailer -- while standing on a ladder 12 feet above a solid surface.
Gee, I think I have a theme going here. Solid Surfaces. Hanging on for dear life. High above! WTHeck am I thinking? But after all is said and done, I sure had a good time. I'm going back for more!

And loving every minute of it!
You two will have a blast with your new venture. Glad I'm close enough to enjoy it more!
