I have not been online as much.
In the past handful of weeks, I have:
- Watched a movie outside in the park on a blow up projector screen.
- Went to a local set of horror plays written by local playwrights. We voted on which one we liked the best (ranked choice) and whoever wins will have a chance to produce a full play locally.
- Went to the local symphony orchestra (small town, but dang the local folks can play!) and even watched a guest violinist play amazingly!
- Went on a "ghost tour" which is really just a local history tour but with fun things mixed in
- Went to some lovely gardens and museums
Annnnnnd some other stuff like going downtown and listening to street buskers (and tipping), checking out local art shows, going to fun events in the various parks.
Many of those activities were free. The ones that cost money were cheaper than eating at McDonalds.
I've been doing other things like trying to run again, and sit in meditation with others, and play my fipple flute, and build up food infrastructure.
Things are quiet now. And I'm finding ways to be quiet with other folks around me. And it is lovely.
