more great studies

It turns out, according to a recent study, that over-exercising can cause slugglish mental responses, poor decision making and brain burn out.  Well, if ever I heard a great excuse for being a couch potato, this is it.  Oh wait, they just finished the report by saying that this finding only applies to extreme athletes.  Regular people should keep exercising...but maybe I won't take any chances. 
The other study says that dog owners live longer (probably because they get exercise walking their dogs). It also says that patting a dog can be good for you.  I do not intend to become a dog owner - been there, done that - but I shall continue to pat friendly dogs that I encounter on my elevator rides.  Every little bit helps, right?
