After almost 10 months living at home in the US, my wife Q was ready to hit the road, so we did something I thought I would never do….

Quantz posing in front of a horse figure.

A river cruise from Budapest to Passau on the Danube.

A beautiful building seen from a distance, lit up with bright lights.

The food was amazing, the scenery was stunning, and the friends we went with were delightful.

 A group of people socializing together.

We saw new things in Bratislava and heard great stories.

The image of a metal man coming out of the ground.

Barbara taught us how to bake schaumrollen in Marbach.

We biked twenty miles along vineyards of the Danube.

A man and a woman near their bikes near a vineyard.

We visited the abandoned castle where Richard the Lionheart was held ransom.

We had an amazing adventure.

But honestly, my favorite part of the trip was the afternoon we spent with the Rupf family (one of our former exchange students) and their beautiful little children.

Karl and Quantz surrounded by kids and parents.

Research shows that when older adults regularly interact across generations, they experience lower rates of loneliness and depression, improved cognitive function, and a stronger sense of purpose 🧠❤️.

Plus the beauty of intergenerational connection is that you don’t have even have to travel out of your neighborhood.

My hero is my big brother Rob. He just finished mentoring another group of first year Medical students on how to prepare for the emotional roller coaster of being a doctor. He also tutors inner city elementary students in reading.

Rob tells me he is certain he gets way more out of these activities than his students ever will.  I say “the circle is unbroken.” When we connect, everyone benefits.

The bottom line? Get the hell out of your comfort zone. Go to a lecture. Read a new book. Volunteer at the local elementary school.

Build a new connection and rewire your brain. The world still needs you! Now get out there and live!

Keep asking,  “What’s the next big thing?”

Beware of Medicare Scams!

Beware of Medicare Scams – I hope this vlog finds you well despite the madness of the times.

This week, I received calls from three different Medicare Insurance clients who were very confused.

Each of these clients had received calls from someone claiming to be their Medicare Agent and asking for their personal information.

Do not fall victim to these scams. Medicare Insurance companies will not call you and request your personal information.

Beware of Medicare Scams – Beware of any call asking for your personal information or telling you that you need to change your Medicare Insurance Plan.  Many of these callers are trying to steal your personal information.

If someone calls you claiming to be Medicare Agent, hang up and call the number on the back of your insurance card.

Here’s an article that may be helpful.
