Tom Sightings reports on the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute which involves "communities where the participants not only take on challenging subjects but also seek to engage more deeply with their fellow students."

Meryl Baer was on the road again this week. Actually, she and hub were in the air on the way to a week grandsitting the grandkids. Anything can happen traveling nowadays via air.

It's been a busy week for Rita R. Robison, consumer journalist, writing at The Survive and Thrive Boomer Guide.

Head over to her blog to take a look at these action packed consumer stories.
