Pat, there is a fabulous opportunity to keep your mind active in a volunteer organization called SCORE (Service Corps Of Retired Executives) where I have volunteered a few times. It allows you to keep your hand in, so to speak.

I also volunteer to demonstrate synthesized speech devices (Dynavox) to hospitals and the VA. So much so that I have had to decline many opportunities to travel regionally. It has gotten too physically demanding.

My religion teaches volunteerism and, worldwide, has spent nearly 2 billion hours in volunteer work in 2012 alone.
