Cool. Hopefully we’ll be able to teach Mr. Obama a lasting lesson next November.

Thanks, love your articles. I will say, as I get older, I love learning to DO new things. I have picked up some new crafts and learning to do them really keeps my mind sharper. It makes me think there should be more emphasis on that in nursing homes. I am less interested in the end product than I am in the process, altho if it turns out nice that’s a plus.

Thus the old maxim: We learn from our mistakes.

(Boy, I should be a lot smarter now, if that is true.)

I have found, as an old Boomer, that I can acquire new knowledge a lot more efficiently than I could as a young person. I guess the brain develops a system over time.

Now, new physical tasks are something different....
