It's NATIONAL DANCE DAY! Break out into a twirl or two-step on, 'National Dance Day' (third Saturday in September). The day focuses on raising awareness about dance. It also encourages Americans to embrace dance as a fun and positive way to maintain good health and combat obesity. As a cardiovascular exercise, dancing offers numerous benefits. The activity may be low or high impact. However, either one will increase aerobic fitness. Other benefits of dancing include: ✨  Improved muscle tone✨  Weight management✨  Flexibility and strength✨  Strong bones and reduced risk of osteoporosis✨  Improved balance✨  Increased cardiovascular health✨  Enhanced opportunity for social interaction✨  Helps boost mood Also, age doesn't matter. Your dancing partner may be a child or someone 20 years your senior. No matter how skilled you are, there's always a new step to learn, too. Grab a partner and get dancing! [source: National Day

" "But what AARP strongly believes in is your right to vote and the importance of exercising that right." As AARP clearly points out in their statement above we all believe in our right to vote.  For many years now I have been attempting to point out a rather large anomaly in the voting process.  The voting process does not include a receipt for a voters ballot when cast.  If we all believe that it is our right to vote then it makes since that we as individual voters should be able to verify and confirm that our vote was recorded as it was marked on our ballot.  A simple receipt for each ballot cast would help legitimize the voting process for all.   We would never think of using a bank that did not give a receipt for our money when making a deposit. Every transaction we make today includes a receipt. Those receipts are individualized and can be kept private and secure.  The lottery system platforms give a ticket which is simply a recei

Geils Band “Centerfold, And there are some songs with short but important whistle use, such as in Steve Miller Band’s “Jungle Love” or The Commodores “Brick House.” And more recent whistlers include Maroon 5’s “Moves Like Jagger,” OneRepublic’s “I Ain’t Worried” and “Good Life,” Foster The People’s “Pumpled Up Kicks,” and Flo Rida’s “Whistle.” And a little country whistling with Beyonce’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” and Zac Brown Band’

I'm excited to share more news about the NORC Self-Help Senior Center, a vibrant community hub located in the basement of 67-00 192 Street, Fresh Meadows, NY. This wonderful center offers a welcoming space for seniors to connect, learn, and thrive. In October, which is just four days away, the center's activities will take place on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Anthony intentionally planned it this way, responding to members' feedback and requests. While everyone enjoys the engaging activities and programs, many have also asked for days to simply come down, hang out, use their laptops, read a book, or socialize with friends. The center has a vast book collection in their big bookcase, making it an ideal spot to unwind and explore new literary horizons. Whether you're looking for fiction, non-fiction, or everything in between, you'll find something that suits your taste. If you need a break from the walls of your apartment, this is the place for you. The NORC Self-Help Senior Cent

Per CNN: "Dame Maggie Smith, one of Britain’s best-known actresses whose long career ranged from starring opposite Laurence Olivier in “Othello” on stage and screen, to roles in “Harry Potter” and “Downton Abbey,” has died, her sons announced in a statement shared by their publicist Clair Dobbs." This is one of the most painful losses for me personally since John Lennon... Thank you, Dame Maggie, for everything you gave us!
