OK I need some actual help and suggestions....

Posted by Capstern Oct 25 '11, 14:49

I have spent most of the last 20 years married. I dont reallyhave any hobbies except reading, entertainment (TV movies and Plays). I like to play poker.

Thats about it but most of that is fairly solitary. Everyone keeps telling me I need to get out and do stuff. Not stay in the house watching tv, exercising and being a hermit.

At one point I liked painting minatures but tried again recently and meh sort of over that.

So I am looking for some suggestions for something I can really get out and do and also be somewhat social.

So far suggestions I have had:
Golf - my shoulder likely wont take it as its all bone on bone

Shooting - I d miss pistol shooting and I live in TX so I will probably do that but to expensive to do it a lot

I am really adn truly at a loss for ideas - its like I spent 20 years pleasing someone else and have lost any identity of what I might like to go do.

I have sorta always wanted to learn to sword fight but that sounds stupid when I say it out loud...just cause it seems cool
