After an especially cold and snowy winter, spring beckons us outside. Its smells, sights, sounds, textures, and tastes offer us countless chances to enjoy its beauty. These rich experiences don't just boost our mood and health - they also exercise our body's sensory system, which in turn encourages our brains to stay sharp against cognitive decline. So, whether you venture out into the natural world or welcome the outdoors in, engage your senses and immerse yourself in nature this season.

Are your blinds open right now? Or perhaps the better question is: if they aren't, do you want them to be? I've spent most of my life in a blind-less, curtain-less utopia. This privilege comes from living on a few acres, where the only sign of my neighbors is the faint glow of their porch lights in winter, when bare branches no longer shield the view. This freedom is wonderful. I know the way moonlight casts shifting shadows through my house as I get a midnight drink of water.

I would ask my mom, "How was your week?" "Kinda boring," was her answer. Before disease, my mom was a productive person with many social and creative pursuits. Her health condition severely reduced her world. She struggles with these increasing limitations. As I reflect, I think I was asking the wrong question. We tend to say, "What a bad day!"

That was over 40 years ago, and Larry remains as much a foundational part of the historic Seelbach Hilton Hotel as its grand lobby staircase and famous grotto ballroom, the Rathskeller.
