The Mrs. has been trying to get me out of the house lately. I've got free reign to go out and do something, and the sad thing is there's nothing (that I can afford) that I want to do.
I'm happy to be left alone for a while sitting in front of my computer, but sometimes that's boring too. I can't really do my photography at night so that's not an option either. Maybe I should take up classes or something. Maybe I could teach Photoshop classes at the local community college or volunteer to read stories to kids in the hospital. I have a tendency to use my many voices to read to my daughter, maybe other kids would like it too.
But tonight is one of those nights. My wife is working this evening so the office is off limits. Most of my friends are either people from work who live 1 1/2 hours away or are also parents of small children and therefor have no life either. There's nothing I want to see in the movie theater and I don't feel like sitting in a bar for 10 minutes while I have my one drink. I'm too old to go clubbing. I'm too young for Bingo.
Blogging? Nahh. I need to get out of the house. Gun range? Expensive and I prefer company while I shoot. I just got through reading Angels & Demons and I just can't seem to get so bored that finishing Atlas Shrugged seems like a good idea. That book would be better titled Atlas Snored.
I could act cool and go over to Barnes & Noble and drink overly expensive coffee while reading books I'll never purchase because, well, I can sit there and read them.
Oh well. Maybe I should pick up a TV watching habit or something.
