Here are some more great responses for the “50 things to do at 50″ contest.
Play Nintendo DS to keep your mind sharp
Buy a Wii and get fit in the comfort of your home. I do not do gyms, so this would be a great alternative. You can do what you want, when you want and […]
Yesterday I talked about The Age Curve by Baby Boomer Kenneth Gronbach. The book’s subtitle is “How to Profit from the Coming Demographic Storm.” The “storm” he’s talking about, I think, is the influx of baby boomers as an aging generation and its effect on many areas of economics.

My favorite Twilight Zone episode is one with Burgess Meredith titled “Time Enough at Last,” in which he plays a henpecked husband who just wants to find time to read. Remember it?

Image details: Coffee Shop served by picapp.com
As I’ve written before on this blog, I love coffee. And I have a wonderful vision of sitting in a little coffee shop, serving biscotti, bagels and all kinds of coffee and tea. People are chatting, using their laptops, relaxing. And I’m having a great time chatting, making […]
