Those Wonderful Senior Moments

It used to be that "Senior Moment" meant an awkward lapse. But a whole new generation of active, interested, and involved adults is turning that phrase on its head. They are choosing to retire where they find learning opportunities and activities to keep their minds sharp and their bodies healthy.

Charlottesville, Virginia has often been recognized as an ideal place to spend the best years of your life. CNNMoney.com selected the city as one of the Best Places to Retire 2005. Charlottesville has much to offer:

• Temperate climate
• Excellent health care systems
• Public transportation
• Affordable housing
• Golf, tennis, and other outdoor activities
• Museums and libraries
• The University of Virginia's Institute of Lifelong Learning

I have lived in Charlottesville for over 20 years. In that time I've seen Central Virginia develop into a deeply rewarding place to be through all the phases of life. In this weblog I'll share news and opinions about housing, trends, and opportunities for people whose lives are full of rich senior moments. Welcome to Charlottesville!
