What are your goals in retirement?  For many of us, participating in favorite sports is high on our list.  Mix in some healthy competition and new friendships and you have a winning combination!  Today we talk to Brad Allen,  one of our few working and non-retired guests about his role in the North Carolina Senior Games.  Yes, you read that right! Brad is not retired! However, I think he will shed some very important knowledge on the senior games that are held in all 50 states and we will give him some encouragement to continue working for that ultimate goal to reach retirement bliss!  Thanks Brad for your great senior games advice!

Cuba sounds like an exotic vacation for many of us in the United States.  It has been closed to  Americans since 1962 unless you have family there.  We have seen in pictures  the beautiful beaches and the pristine restored cars that line the boulevards and boardwalks.  Now, Cuba is starting to open up a bit more for us here, however many Canadians have been traveling there throughout the years. In today's episode we meet France Champoux and Ken McDowell, a couple from Windsor, Ontario and they talk to us about the beautiful country and beaches of Cuba.  Cuba is now on our bucket list of places to explore!
