TALENTS SHOULDN'T BE WASTED
By: Jean Leedale Hobson
Today, in a NO PETS ALLOWED apartment building, I am living vicariously through my grandchildren's parade of pets, empathizing with their pleasure and pain from my safe sidelines. Been there, done that , thank you.

THE BRITS HAVE A WORD FOR IT
By: Jean Leedale Hobson
As a stranger touring Britain by car there’s more than the ‘wrong side of the road’ to deal with—you’ll be longing for a Berlitz translation of driving terms and road signs.
At the airport, head for a sign AUTO HIRE to rent a car. Paperwork done, the tank filled with PETROL, your luggage stashed in the BOOT (trunk), ease your foot on the ACCELERATOR (gas pedal) as you begin a memorable tour of this beautiful, historic island.

RE-CYCLING MYSELF
By: Pam Vanden Bos
Squealing, "Yes-Yes-Yes," I toss the phone on the bed and dance a little boogie around my room. My son just invited me to ride with his cycling team at the LiveStrong Challenge in Austin, Texas.

THE SPACE EXPLORERS
The Classic Cartoon
By: Chuck Scholtz
www.thespaceexplorers.com
It's rare when a lost classic cartoon is rediscovered after 50 years in some old film archives. A new website TheSpaceExplorers.com was recently made to share the rediscovery with Baby-boomers. If you were a kid growing up in the middle of the 1950 - 1960's "Space Race" era, you had the pleasure and privilege to watch the myriad of space cartoons being broadcast on the air. Each morning, shows like Captain Satellite, Captain Kangaroo, Captain Video, Sheriff John, and even Romper Room with "Miss Connie" showed cartoons like: Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, Space Patrol, Fireball XL-5, Ultra Man, Rocket Man, Commando Cody, and the subject of this article... "The Space Explorers".

SOME CREAM IN MY CHOLESTEROL
By: Steve Lewis
"Steve, your cholesterol level is still too high," the good Dr. G muttered from behind the lab report in front of his face. "Now I have to insist that you go on medication."
My inner teenager slumped in abject failure. Despite more than ten years of unsatisfactory blood panels I had somehow managed to successfully dodge the doctor's prescription pad and the heart-rending notion of taking a pill every day for the rest of my life.
