Instant New Year's resolutions

I heard an interesting medical report on the news this morning about Alzheimers disease, a subject that always attracts my attention.  After some discussion about current research the guest doctor was asked if anything could be done to prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimers.  He said that exercise, adequate sleep, social interaction and brain stimulation all help prevent or delay this disease.
I had delayed writing any New Year's resolution but these pretty much wrote themselves:
1. I will try to sleep at least 7 hours each night,
2. I will add walking to my exercise routine (on my Gazelle when the snow is too deep outside),
3. I will spend time with my family and friends,
4, and I will play games, by myself (Sudoko, etc.) and with others.
Anyone who knows me knows that numbers 3 & 4 are easy for me, it's 1 & 2 that I will have to work on.
Stay tuned, we'll see how this goes.
