Pack up for Vermont: When it comes to healthy habits and community, the Green Mountain State beats all, a recent study found.

Watch TV online: Consume your favorite program on your schedule through Hulu.com’s free archive. Unless, of course, you like paying $40+ per month for cable.
Show that crossword who’s boss: A puzzle a day may help keep dementia away.
Start your own (Abraham) Lincoln log: With Lincoln’s bicentennial weeks away—and an Abe devotee moving into the White House—pick up one of the many new books on the 16th president.
Fake it ‘til you make it as a virtual rock star: Treat yourself to Guitar Hero and turn your living room into a stage.
