I think it is hard to tell if one is "staying sharp".
Learning Spanish is another. I spend probably two hours daily on this Spanish, project. And maybe 6-8 hours/week dancing.
Ha
That happens to me with books.The latter occurs when I watch an entire movie before realizing that I've seen it before.

How are you working on learning Spanish? I spent 6 years learning Spanish in school (years ago) and was close to fluent. One of my goals is to at least refresh some of my Spanish. I've read that it can be helpful to watch Spanish TV. Any thoughts on this?

Besides all of the mental activities already mentioned, I think that exercise is very important - being physically active helps keep you mentally sharp.
...........and it is practically legal in some states, now.
Oh.................never mind.
The house is now worth about what Zillow says it's worth...
Yesterday, the contractors finished drywall repairs and painting in my LR, thus ending about nine months of remodeling. Totally new kitchen, including widening the doorway to make the K/DR one big room. Ceramic tile everywhere except the bedrooms; "engineered" wood in those. All walls and ceilings painted. New roof. Chimney torn down and rebuilt. Looking good! Damned well better, with all the expense, work, and disruption to my lazy lifestyle. The house is now worth about what Zillow says it's worth...
Hi W2R, I'm glad you said that about Zillow. I rarely look at it but checked out our house a week ago and it was down substantially from a year ago. But houses around our neighborhood sell very infrequently and the house that sold around 8mo or so ago was about 20% higher then the quote on our house now. Our house is probably better situated with wonderful views the other house doesn't have (but they have a pool). Not sure what to make of this but we're not planning on selling for at least a decade, So it's just a curiosity.Zillow is so far off here it's ridiculous. Their values are commonly nearly half again what houses actually sell for. The selling prices are listed in the newspaper so it's not hard to check. ...

Glad you have your house all fixed up, and I hope that doesn't set ER back too far for you.
