It's something you can do if you're sedentary, which in many but not
all of those cases,the people are.

It's that, TV, bingo...

How depressing Mr.Brashear.

	* Know of but never played bingo;
	* rarely watch TV;
	* don't visit casinos.
How about the internet?  That's sedentary.
Library as well.
Ride the T.
Visit friends at home.
Volunteer - some such work hardly involves movement.
Wheelchair bound could work on a food line where only
          movement is in the arms.
Surely there's much better than TV, bingo, casinos.
