One of the things I hate about getting old (70) is that I'm still excitable but more slow-witted.

I had to run to the bank to make a withdrawl at the automatic teller since I forgot to get the cash that is my Son's Christmas present. (every year)

It's been raining ever since afternoon and still raining when I went out around 7pm. Almost no traffic.

So no big, right? I did my thing with the machine, the amount it gave me was what I'd asked for so
I didn't look at the receipt. When I got home I finally noticed that the receipt showed I'd withdrawn
100 bucks more than I got. I was outraged, drove back to the bank to see if there was any money left in the withdrawl slot. Of course not.

Then I looked at the receipt again. The last 4 digits of the account number shown were not the same as my account! So I went online to check my balance and it showed my correct withdrawl amount so I'm happy. HO HO HO Merry Christmas everyone. If I'd been thinking I coulda noticed the teller machine's error right away. But better late than never, right? At least I got out of the house and now I get to go to the bank I used for the withdrawl (not my bank) and ask them what's going on. I love it!

I hope everyone's Christmas Eve was less eventful than mine!

1. The best way to to keep brain functioning well is..

150 minutes of aerobic exercise during the week. Ever since I began that routine (I will be 80 in a couple of months) I feel as well as I did at age 50. Reaching 100 is looking doable. Right now knock on wood I have zero health issues. Have not seen inside of hospital since I had gall bladder surgery 30 years ago.

3. I 2nd that

I'll be 70 this year (June) and I feel just fine. I go to the gym three times a week and meditate daily. I keep my mind sharp trading the futures and stock markets everyday. I have no health issues and am not on any meds. The only difference I feel now verses when I was 50 is my stamina has fallen just a bit when I work out or doing heavy physical work at home. Life is good when you stay active!

4. That's great advice but my idea of exercise is getting out of bed and parking a distance away from

the entrance when I go to the store.
