Aging in Place

As we age, gracefully or otherwise, our lives change. Sometimes our homes and offices don't accomodate us well. My old pal Louis Tenenbaum has the vision and foresight to work on universal design and aging in place issues. Check out his web site for details.

Having lived with Lisa during her double knee replacement I became sensitized adaptive design issues. Walkers and small bathrooms with doors on the shower. Need I say more? Getting the accessible room in a hotel on a couple of occasions was an eye opener too.

Go, read Louis' site.

white socks
Yep. I'm a nerd. I' can even tell you how and why.

I've confessed to the white sock thing before. The above page discusses it in a bit more detail.

The Starter Wife & Wikipedia

I caught the first 10 minutes of The Starter Wife just now. Yawn...

Imagine my surprise when I Googled it to learn the origin of the term and stumbled across this Wikipedia article. Obviously a plant by the marketing flaks.

Sooooo, I took it upon myself to "edit" it a bit. Let's see how long my "improvements" stay up.

Talk about sleazy "social network marketing".
