Throw the axiom "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" out the door. Lifelong learning is attitudinal; one can and should be open to new ideas, decisions, skills or behaviors at any age.
Come for a lecture. Learn a new skill as a volunteer. Immerse yourself in a weekend of Frank Lloyd Wright. Have a thirst for knowledge? Fallingwater can help quench it.
