Financial Strain May Lead to an Aging Heart

Have you been to see your doctor lately? In the past couple of months, I have gone for my yearly physical and been visited by a physician’s assistant at home for a free of charge “wellness visit”. I was going to pass on the home visit, but it was provided by my health insurance company and I figured why not. I enjoy knowing thyself. I am happy to report that both visits provided me with great news about my health and wellness. But interestingly both my primary doc and the PA

Good News Cruise 2027

Good news and cruise! If you are a planner and looking for great faith based, couples-getaway I have an idea for you. My wife and I have been on several of the Good News Cruise retreats. While February, 2027 sounds like a long way off, it really is not if you are looking to book what has become a great cruise that sells out fast. Case in point, the 2026 version sold out almost immediately. The Good News Marriage Cruise for 2027 features speakers Fr. Mike Schmitz, Cardinal Ti

Electric Bike Adventure

Bike riding is a great adventure, most of the time. The fall off of my electric bike is in the rearview mirror. After breaking my arm near the wrist, I have been totally healed for months short of a little discomfort when the weather is about to change. Having spent my professional life as a weather forecaster, it is ironic that I now have a new forecasting tool. I did learn a few things from this bike riding mishap however.

Health Benefits of Being Adventurous

Each of us is different when it comes to adventure. My wife and I are like this. My idea of adventure is an expedition, flying an airplane or scuba diving. My wife’s idea of adventure is more like a visit with our grandkids to the local kiddie play park. We have to respect each other and our ideas of adventure and comfort zone. Taking on challenges can make us stronger, bring a sense of accomplishment and even joy. The increase in health related to adventure can extend to the

Taking Social Security Early?

I am now part of the club; the Social Security benefit club. I started on Social Security at my full retirement age (FTA). I applied online and while my wife did the same thing at first, we had a few extra items to discuss in person at our local SSA office. Whether online or in person, we both had excellent experiences with SSA staff. Even when SSA staff needed to call us back, the calls came in their appointed time. Let me say it again, our federal workers did an excellent j
