Ya'll have made wondeful comments & suggestions. Just so you know, manymiles, I would love to join a book club or something like that. I live in smalltown Texas & there's not very much available. We don't even have a bookstore anymore in the closest larger town w/ a mall & several shopping strips. There's similar problems w/ the other suggestions. Can't join anything when there's nothing to join. I have done a lot of volunteer work. I think I may need to go back to that to be out w/ IRL folks. Please keep the comments & suggestions coming. They are opening up my mind to other things.

Congrats to you, Artemis, for your 16 yr. marriage.
