Aging Gracefully: Making the Very Most Out of Your Adult Years
OK, we aren't quite 20 any more, but none of us are sitting around in a rocking chair, either. There's a lot of life left to live! We're delighted to welcome Dr Jimenez, who has put together an eclectic list of the most asked questions he gets in his office on aging:Lecture starts promptly at 3 p.m.
- What's normal aging, anyway?
- What changes should worry me, and when should I call the Doctor?
- What routine screenings should I have over the age of 50?
- Anything special I should know about to stay healthy and out of the hospital and ER?
- What about diet? Exercise? Supplements? Vision, hearing and driving?

I really appreciate the juxtaposition of the following videos, both representing the San Pedro Art Walk. The first is created for the purpose of tourism and the second for fans of Tattoo artists and the shop Pins and Needles.
