I read a book recently (the brain that changes itself) that to keep brain power you not just have to keep it active - you have to keep it learning new tasks. Learning a new language is one of the mostr challenging so is perfect for retirement.

Wasp grubs eat meat (that's why they are supposed to be good for your garden - they get rid of bugs). The adults eat nectar.Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostI was at a barbecue on Sunday.
