As most of you know, the old Air Force Base, where Carrie, Robin and I did some living and growing in the early 60's, has been closed down since about 1993 or so, and a lot of development is going on there right now. Due to open in April of this year is a place called Market Commons, one of those residentail/retail communities (live above, shop ground level) that are really popular right now.
Well, (and Mel can help advise on this) I thought that having a place called the NCO Club might be a very viable venue to open there. Along the lines of the original NCO Club when the MBAFB was alive and well. A lot of NCO's partied there over the years, our Dad and Mom included. This place could have a lot of memorabilia from days past, good cheap beer and booze, basic menu. Whatever. Oh well, it was just a passing idea. Ocifers not allowed.
Here's another idea to stave off creeping Alzheimer's , exercize your brain.
A new book out last month puts forth evidence that "exercise is the single best thing you can do for your brain," ........."Some of the myths about the brain—that it was not changeable, that there was nothing you could do about cognitive decline—have really been dispelled in the past 10 years," says Lynda Anderson, director of the Healthy Aging Program at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, whose bold goal is "to maintain or improve the cognitive performance of all adults." The potential payoff is enormous. Alzheimer's now afflicts 4.5 million people in the United States—double the number in 1980—and is expected to reach 16 million by 2050. "Statistics show if we could delay the onset of Alzheimer's by five years, the number of people with the disease would be cut in half," says Yaakov Stern, a cognitive neuroscientist at Columbia University.
I've found a site that helps you exercize your brain - it's called My Brain Trainer. Check it out.
Enough for Today - my brain's tired. TTFN!
