I warily gave Big S directions to my new house today. Wouldn't you know he would show up this afternoon with directions to a house nearby he wants us to hang out at tomorrow.
"Good bunch of fellas," he told me. "Guys I hang out with when I am not down at the Piggly Wiggly."
"All black?" I warily asked.
"Yeah, but you are cool so they will be, too," Big S replied as he laughed.
I know the house. It is over by the housing projects and a great big group of men hang out there during the afternoon. It is on the route I drive to my parents house. Who knows? I might just head over there tomorrow and see how things go. This sitting at home all day on the computer is for the birds.

They sound like bad influences. Be careful dear Andrew. You have come so far!
If it's close by I'd take Maggie for a walk in that general direction and check it out. If it doesn't look like a good situation you can just move on with your dog walk. If they're ok guys they'll fawn over Maggie - then you'll know.
Do you ever listen to Leo Laporte the tech guy on the radio? I enjoyed his show driving back from the green market this afternoon. I love that drive, it takes me along the St. Lucie river.
Hello friend...I think by the comments that you get on your blog that NOBODY thinks it is boring. You have lots of wisdom and ideas and lots of blogger buddies who really do enjoy reading whatever you have to say even when it is about your day and what you ate. I think the idea of perhaps just checking it out with Maggie is a good idea. PLEASE be careful if you do decide to to. You have done SO SO GREAT with not drinking.I also thought having a meeting to go to afterwords is a good thing too. If you decide to not blog know that I will miss you MUCH and hope that you would emaail....perhaps too if you think you want to try just blogging a couple of times a week or once a week or so if it feels like something you may decide to end you could see if blogging less often you might like better. I am NOT trying to tell you what to do or not to do just wanted to mention when things are happening such as your own pressure about the blogging and thinking you do not have anything to share I have seen that some months ago when you were trying to stop drinking and then relapsed a bit so just want you to think if this is the alcholic in you talking or not...I as you know care for you MUCH friend. It is days like today that I wish we lived closer to each other or at least could talk on the phone some....not putting pressure on or I do not mean to but could you put a post tonight or tomorrow and let us know how you are or if you would feel better and more open to sharing with me who you knows gets it please feel free to email me and perhaps even email me your phone number...and if you do I will try to overcome by phone issues to call you.
i agree that you should balance the real world with the computer so i support your desire to get out more. i am skeptical, though, about a houseful of guys who hang out all day...
