Another vote for walking and a good book on Grandfathering.

Senior tip -- If you are a senior, then you might be a grandfather or know someone who is. Here is a good book on Grandfathering. It is appropriately titled Grandfathering by Dr. Dan Erickson. It is a 100 pages of easy reading content with some fascinating action oriented ideas. It is available on Amazon. I had lunch with Dr. Erickson last week and he is the genuine inspirational article.  After lunch, I went home and wrote a letter to my oldest grandson. All grandfathers can use a bit of extra motivation once in awhile.

A Kansas lawyer, who is a Senior Tip reader writes: "Surprised that you have trouble remembering your prescriptions. I don’t.  I write them down and keep the list in my wallet. They are always asking for them at the DRs offices, so I whip it out and have them make a copy and attach it to the form. Name, dosage, number of times daily, etc.  I walk and have been walking 3-5 miles per day since at least Dec 1, 2014. I find that it keeps  one’s weight stable, causes one to eat better and makes one more health conscious, while reducing blood sugar and blood pressure.  When one realizes how long and far that one must walk to walk off that piece of pie, one refrains or takes just a bit or eats less of something else." I agree.

Know of any good books on being a senior.
