Happy New Year!

We begin 2014 with renewed hope and energy -- and the usual complications at every turn.

Exercise benefits

The beginning of a new year is a traditional time for people to try to improve parts of their lives with which they're not satisfied.

Researchers are now finding that fitness has a long-term effect upon brainpower and can play a crucial role in staving off dementia.

Exotic lands

Being married to my husband was never boring! During the past 30 years, he planned trips for us to England, Ireland, Scotland, Australia, France, Switzerland, Italy, Russia, Mexico, Argentina, Greece and other usual tourist spots.
