Summer Fun...

This is somewhat out-of-the-ordinary for me, but I'm posting what I've been doing this summer as a means of identifying potential fun for you all. Granted, I'm always trying to post things I find, but the difference is none of these things happen online. Should you be intrigued, ask...

1. I joined a bowling league. Even if you're just a beginner, there's probably a league for people at your skill level. It's a cheap, fun way to meet friends and occupy an evening that might otherwise be empty.

2. I joined a fantasy baseball league. Okay, this one does happen online. But, if you're competitive like me, it's another opportunity to show that world (and more importantly, your friends) why you're better than them.

3. I'm taking golf lessons. You should, too. It's cheap...ish. Where I live, some of the driving ranges have golf pros there to help you improve your shot. They're not formal lessons, per se, but they'll go a long way in helping you be a better golfer. Why golf? Not only is it surprisingly fun, it also provides a great mechanism to network.

4. Find something outdoorsy. This seems obvious, and perhaps cliche, and almost certainly undesirable. But remember, outdoorsy doesn't mean strenuous. Go tubing on a lazy river or walk laps in your backyard. That's what I've been up to, and it's been awesome.

5. If all else fails, drink. Or, of all else succeeds, drink.
