Dear Friends,
Dr. Jean and I recently visited our daughter, Dr. Rachel!! 

She is practicing in Omaha while her fiancé is in medical residency. We were walking through a lovely park in downtown Omaha when we came upon a dog park. Oddly enough the dogs were running around having a blast and the owners stood there watching.

What was funny was that half of the owners were smoking and the other half seemed to be on their phone. Sometimes it is hard to understand why we are the ones in charge of the planet! We then contemplated what if dogs had human parks and took us to work out.

It is all a frame of mind. I get certain shoes on and my dog, Remi, goes bizerk! Wednesdays he doesn’t give me the time of day because he knows it is a walk day with Dr Jean. If I put deer hunting closes on he goes and pouts. He sees anything with bird hunting and there is uncontrollable whining and excitement.

As humans we tend to look at exercise as just another task. A “have to” instead of a “get to” like a dog perceives exercise.  

Explore different activities and find something you love so that you are motivated to stick with it and enjoy it. I highly recommend something outside if you can because the outdoors offer so many more benefits. Fresh air for the soul, sun for the vitamin D, and the effects it has on your natural rhythms. 

Find your exercise and go for it!  Movement is key to good aging and it doesn’t take much for life extension gains. Just 30 minutes three to four times a week. Start with 10 minutes and get in the habit. SHSHSHSHSH-I don’t want to hear it. If I have time, you have time. Just make the time and all of a sudden you will have more time than you had before because you get more efficient.

So take off you collar and unleash your mobile self.

It is the best way to keep your body mobile and strong. Use it or lose it.

Woof!

God bless,
Dr. Dan

Testimonial

Kurt Bassuener, President of MWS Associates, Inc.

MWS Associates has leased office space in the Business Center since the inception of our company in 2018 and from 2015-2018 with the previous company that I worked for.  The Business Center was the clear choice for us to locate our main office for several reasons: location, cost effectiveness, reliable high-speed internet, services offered and full access to the conference room.  It truly offers everything our company needs to headquarter our business from without the hassle of owning our own office building with the maintenance, yard care and snowplowing that goes along with ownership.  

A major benefit for us is the ability to host in-person and online meetings in the newly renovated, state-of-the-art conference room.  COVID changed many aspects of our business with a major increase in online meetings being one of them.  Many companies struggled with technology issues to host or participate in online meetings with poor audio, video quality, background noise and unprofessional business settings negatively affecting meetings.  The size, layout and quality of the A/V equipment of the conference room now allows us to host annual company-wide in-person meetings as well. Every October we bring our entire staff in from around the country for weeklong meetings and the conference room comfortably allows us to host 20+ people.  The setting also allows us to host on-site meetings with key accounts.  Clients appreciate being able to combine a business trip with bringing their family to enjoy a few extra days to experience all Door County has to offer.
