Jan 2018

Decades ago when I was a teen, staying home on Saturday night instead of "dating" or going to parties was great. I looked forward to watching the CBS TV line-up of All in the Family, MASH, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, and Carol Burnett. When I was in school, I chose not to join cliques, not the other way around.

Fast forward to now. I have people I know from certain groups to which I belong. I usually leave as soon as an affair is over and don't socialize. I have things to do. When I exercise, it's on a treadmill, nothing with teams and sports. And I live alone. I don't have to share a refrigerator or a bathroom. OK, maybe the place would be a tad more tidy if I were cohabitating, but it's manageable.
