I have a handful of close friends and that's it. Socializing, as in parties, dinner out, movies together are memories of the past. We had good time, but about ten years ago people begin fading away to death, relocation, medical issues. Now as a widower, I really enjoy the time to myself. And Carole, we also owned sailboats for 20 years and were active members of a sailing association. We would sail out in convoy style to various places, tie our boats together, anywhere from 3 to 20, and party up. It was fun.
