Sometimes you just have to get out for a little wine and visit with local friends. A few miles away is a little place that is a much needed respite.
What kind of outings do you do in your local area?
If you are in SW Washington, check out the link below.
I go out for Karaoke, poker night with friends, Theatre, and long conversations over coffee or beers.
Poker night ? Nowbthats talking to me ?
Coffee & ice cream for me.
Never been much a drinker.
Go to some joint to hear some folks pickin& grinnin.
I like to just walk.
I have coffee with friends every morning before work. I walk a few times a week with walking buddies, I belong to a meditation group, I go out for happy hours, I go to the indie film house which is 2 blocks away, and visit the Slovenian pastry shop that is next door, oh also the crepe place across the street. Sometimes I hang at the bookstore up the block and just read..
I enjoy occasional Sunday afternoon beach parties with a social meetup group. We bring our own beverages and snacks to share, bbq or whatever, chairs, beach blankets and shade. We chat, drink, swim, chat a bit more until the sun goes down. We solve a lot of the world's problems while treading water in the bay, but somehow our solutions don't always make a lot of sense come Monday morning!
Nothing like this anymore. I never really had friends I spent quality time with. I meant all my remaining time with my wife. Then we went out.
