My education and culture have taught me very little about the benefits of sitting still. Many of us approach retirement with the idea that we must keep busy. We must continue to be "active" and for us that means moving or traveling.
A friend gave me a bottle of wine maybe 50 years ago. "It is really good wine" he said. And then added, "If you open it when you have a good friend over it will be all the better". How true.
