I’m starting to think ahead to winter. It’s the season I spend the most time alone (the perils of living with a ski coach) and it’s dark and cold and people don’t like to leave their houses to hang out.<\/p>\n
Which means I have a challenging dozen weeks from January until mid-March.<\/p>\n
I’ll have volleyball, of course. I suspect the team will play on Tuesdays, but I’ll try to add a Thursday night option, as well, to correspond with Rudi’s being away. Or I could add another sport, but I don’t know that my knees are excited about the running involved in soccer or basketball.<\/p>\n
I could start a game night. Rudi likes games well enough, but not enough, I don’t think, that he’ll feel bad if I have folks over to play. That will require finding people who like playing games or maybe seeing if the Board Room or Labyrinth have a meetup.<\/p>\n
I’m mulling a hot chocolate quest, to identify the best purveyor in the District. That should bring some of my friends out with me.<\/p>\n
The library or one of the local bookshops might have a book group. I haven’t tried one in ages.<\/p>\n
Or maybe one of the local yarn shops has an open knit night.<\/p>\n
Any other ideas for getting out of the house (or getting other people into it) during the winter months?<\/p>\n
