• Keep Growing Bolder :)

Professionals in Aging: Bob Butler, Ken Dychtwald, David Snowdon, and other experts in aging, as I use their materials in my classes, and;  Professionals in the Digital World: Tim Berners-Lee, Guy Kawasaki, BJ Fogg, Nick Bradbury, Charlene Li, Peter Morville, and many others--The list is far too long...

Lots of interests, but professionally it is positive aging (which is why I find Growing Bolder so fascinating) and how we connect technology to improve the quality and satisfaction of life in the the middle and later years. I'm an avid news aggregator, reading all types of news services, blogs, podcasts and other resources to capture trends and ideas to apply in my work and personal life.  I'm very hands on as I love to experiment with technology and gadgets. I'm also into eLearning and information sciences--there's so much info available and it keeps coming at us--how to best use and navigate it so I have more time for life and leisure!

Recent: Baby Boomers and Their Parents, by George Moschis et al.; Information Architecture and the WWW, Morville and Rosenfield; My Mother, Your Mother, Dennis McCullough

Current: Longevity Revolution by Bob Butler, MD;  Groundswell by Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff; Subject to Change by Peter Merholz, Todd Wilkens, Brandon Schauer, David Verba; The Bluezones by Dan Buettner,

Grilled foods, homemade breads, sandwiches and salads. Eat lots of lunches at the deli places. Pasta and rice dishes. Love black olives. And of course, don't forget dessert!

Love to listen to most styles of music, but favorite is smooth jazz genre.

Count of Monte Cristo, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings,  Air Force One, Behind Enemy Lines, Bourne series (Identity, Ultimatum, etc.), Coach Carter, Mr. Holland's Opus, Last Samurai, and so many others...especially those with lots of action and visual effects with an engaging script or show real insight into the human experience.

Lately my TV is the LCD monitor :) I occasionally try to catch some PBS programs (for academic use).  Food Network, Home Improvement (Love those Tim the Toolman reruns), Discovery and History channels. NBA and NFL games -- Go Bucs and Magic!

“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal,” wrote C. S. Lewis-- so I'd say we're all heroes!
