Getting out of the house and interacting with others is important.
Years ago I had a part time job and went to the homes of some elderly.
I'd have 15 minutes work to check out equipment. I quickly learned, as
soon as I got in the house to start a conversation with the elderly and
let them talk.

One guy in particular I'd see every quarter. I'd allot an hour for my
15 minutes work. He always made coffee and he'd have some interesting
stories. His wife of many years was bedridden so he could not go out easily
