I have long been an advocate of a working retirement. One of the best productive retirement activities, for those who are inclined to want to continue earning, is website development. I do this myself, and find it highly stimulating and challenging. Lately, I've been taking on some clients for whom I'm constructing websites. Here's an example of one I just completed for a gentleman and his wife who are also of a certain age: Master Deck Builder.
As other examples, I recently launched a website offering Mountain Bikes for Sale, another analyzing various aspects of Road Bikes and two new sites offering 1. Major Tire Brands for Sale and 2. All About Specialty Coffees. Also, I've recently launched some home improvement sites about Paint Sprayers and another one all about chainsaws. And, be ready for Spring and Summer by visiting our Lawn Mower Store. Of interest to older war veterans is a site about War Memorabilia Collectibles and, for gift givers, Sophisticated Fountain Pens as Gifts. Ordinarily, I don't toot my horn about my stuff on this website, but I thought I should at least mention that for those of us moving well along in the aging process, developing websites, either for pleasure, or for profit is an excellent way to keep the old gray matter engaged and sharp. We know that's a large part of the formula for maintaining a healthy outlook as we become more chronologically advantaged.

The subject of Go-Karting may seem a bit strange for a site devoted to the aging process, but, if the truth be known, many older adults are finding that Go-Karts offer a terrific recreational outlet. Jay Leno, who's 58 as of this writing, is an enthusiast.
What kid doesn't yearn to drive? If you're a boomer with adolescents or a grandparent with grand kids that age, you might just want to consider participating in this ideal sport for the entire family. If you want to spend some quality time with your grandchildren, you might want to give this some thought. Continue Reading »
