Bridge players know (and tell everyone else) that playing bridge lengthens life and keeps us smart. And it's fun.

Looks like the same principle holds for exercise: Creative Staircase.

Beautiful.

I'll pass that on to my building manager and fitness club manager. They don't have the budget for that but I'll bet they'll come up with something creative to make the stairs more fun. They're both pretty imaginative.

Bob Edwards interviewed Bobby Doerr on Sunday. Even we Yankee fans love that guy. re: fun stuff & health, Doerr passed on a quote from Ted Williams that every day you fish adds a day to your life. I believe that.

The repeated piano note at the very beginning of the song reminded me of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Okay, tangent over.

While this is insanely cool, can you magine how annoying it would get if it stayed that way, and you were forced to work next to it?

I wonder how much of it is the novelty factor. People who go through that station every day will probably get tired of it after a while. And when there's a mob of people, you can't really do much on the staircase, it's just going to be a cacaphony.

Nobody played DO-RE-MI?

(I watched it while at work and my sound is off, I assume it actually played scales?)
Is the word "pass" not in your vocabulary?
