From the Editor's Computer

I was reading a book on retirement the other day - and yes, I am allowed to read retirement books as I’ve been semi-retired my whole career!

In the book was a list of things one should do in their retirement years to be productive citizens, and not a burden on society. The list included:
· you can work
· you can play
· you can sleep
· you can improve your mind
· you can improve your health
· you can work in civic activities or educational activities
· you can work in some spiritual area
(Hammond Stith, paraphrased)

Those items are a good formula for those of us at all ages, not just for the retired.
