It was an ordinary day. I just got my AARP magazine and have read it from cover to cover. For those of you who are younger than 50, AARP stands for American Association of Retired People and is the World's largest circulation magazine. Printed by the company that my son Derek works for, RR Donnelley. Saw a neat ad on the inside of the back cover where some guy gives his 81 reasons why he takes an 81mg aspirin daily. Thought is was so neat I'm doing a list of my own, since I take a daily dose of 81mg each day. Try it yourself. Here goes:
