In my latest issue of Bottomline Health there was an article on How to Cut Your Risk for Alzheimer's - by Half.  One of the suggestions is to adopt a "back-to-school" attitude.  One of their suggestions there........

You can study a wide variety of subjects, ranging from pure science and the humanities to architecture and engineering, by enrolling in one of the 1,800 free college-level on-line classes offered by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 

I was like - wow!!  

Free continuing education, and you don't have to travel to some run down elementry school and sit at creaky desks with gum stuck to the bottom.

I went to the website they'd given, and it was a bad link.... so I googled it - and got the correct web address.

This is pretty - no very cool!
