Seriously though, they do say that one of the best things for keeping the brain sharp is to learn something new - learn a language, go to art classes, learn to play an instrument. We might not ever be very good at the new thing, but the work that it gives the brain is supposed to be very beneficial.

Interesting comment about a Pentecostal idea there, Bookpossum.
I agree about the benefits of trying something new. I have begun doing volunteer docent work at a local museum. It's very enjoyable and I am getting a whole new educational experience!
