Keeping life interesting

Check out this article from CNN:

VALPARAISO, Indiana (AP) -- A woman who considered loneliness a curse left $2.9 million to several agencies that serve the elderly, including $725,000 each to a day center and a Meals on Wheels program.

"She wanted to use the money to make life interesting for people who are over 60 who are retired," James Bozik, the attorney for Dorothy Risto, said Monday.

Barbara Kubiszak, director of the St. Agnes Adult Day Service Center, said the donation came as a surprise because as far she can tell, Risto never set foot in the center. The same was true for Meals on Wheels, said Laura Harting, executive director of the Visiting Nurse Association, which runs the program.

What a slap in the face that must be to Congress, whose tireless efforts to "make life interesting for people over 60" resulted in the Social Security Prescription Drug plan. From what I hear, firguring out how THAT works is more mentally challenging than the New York Times Sunday crossword, five-star Monster Sudoku, and making the choice between watching Matlock or Murder She Wrote... COMBINED!
