17. Retired time.

Sunday

I live in a more Christian oriented place, which is really only about half church going types. But we tend to attract people that just aren't into... ahem ... "adult" pursuits and into charitable type things instead. We have some official groups but people group up all the time for things. Also, part of the mix living here is that friends are continuously ending up in a tough way or need a little help. You'll find those opportunities as you go along ....

and let us not forget the guys who gather up in front of the TV in the library to yell at the umps for bad calls against the Patriots.
