Exercise. I try to remember that if I don't move it, it ain't gonna move. If I don't work it, it ain't gonna work. It's either in gear or in the shop. So acting on that, it is a cold but sunny day in Buffalo, and I really think I should put on some layers and go for a walk. If I get cold, I'll walk the mall. Kathleen, I don't know if it would be called physical or occupational, but I sometimes sit at the piano, usually when no one's around, (I'm my own worst critic) and play scales and exercises, most often using a metronome. This helps keep the fingers in shape and helps to keep a separate sense of identity in each finger. I would say also that this aids in typing, and I guess it would generally benefit my fine motor. I do have a hard time flipping pages in books, mags, and papers. Oh yeah, the walk.
