SP,

Here's a question for the assembled singletudes - what sort of GAL things are you doing, post-D?

I still pursue the ones I started after recovering from the initial post-Bomb shock, but they're of a somewhat solitary nature - tennis, for example, is 1 on 1 generally. I don't have the financial wherewithal to join a tennis or golf or country club; I sort of live in the 'burbs, so there's no corner tavern to be Regular at; and of course I have Themselves 6 days out of 10. So I'm open to suggestions. My goal is to be more embedded in the community and to have fun. What do you(se) do?

You describe my conundrum to a tee. So far, for me, reconnecting with old friends (have organized a mini H.S. Reunion weekend of my old crowd next month. Ten confirmed from all over the country) Two MeetUp groups (hiking and swing dancing). Same financial constraints, same 'burb constraints as you. Next step will probably be some volunteering.
But, hey, it's a start.
