I'm currently very cranky. So here's my cranky thought.
I wish I could just have a meeting once a month at my house.
Just for friends that wanted to do what I'd like to do, but don't like doing by myself.
Let's see.
A reading group. I used to have a really great one back in Minneapolis with friends who knew how to get into a book and talk it through with intelligence and wit.
A singing group. For people who really miss reading music off a PAGE rather than the overhead screen at church. For people who love harmony, printed notes, and some good early music polyphony.
A group of friends who could sit around and watch a really bad movie and make fun of it. Or just watch an installment of Mystery Science Theater 3000 together and laugh at it. I used to watch the Miss America pageant every year with some friends back in high school, and rag on all the talent and swimsuit competitions. Great times.
A hiking group. Gather at my place, drive to a not-too-far away place, and hike for a couple hours. Then sit around and drink coffee and soak sore feet at my house afterwards.
A lawn-care group. Everyone can come to my house and mow, trim, weed-whack, and edge while I sit and watch them. (I guess I could hire this out...)
A word-game group. Only word games allowed--no card games, adventure games, games involving any bidding, role-playing, etc. Just word games like Scrabble, Catch Phrase, Guesstures, Charades, etc. And I get to make up words.
A gripe-group. We could sit around and gripe for an hour about life in general, then break out cheesecake, because that makes everything better.
What's your wish?

That I would have appreciated all those things a long time ago when they were the norm... Oh how I miss sitting at the piano singing with you :-)
I'm in for the book club and word game group.
You're on your own for the gardening group.
