Haven't blogged in awhile

I haven't blogged in awhile but I have been "down" quite a bit and not up on my usual reading. Today, however, I don't feel very well, so I don't have the energy to go shopping (one of my favorite hobbies) or even drink a couple of beers (my especially favorite hobby). So I thought I would peruse the internet and after reading some other blogs, I have decided that I need a change. Now that the kids are grown up, and my only grandson lives so far away, I need to develop some new interests. I would really like to join a hiking club but I have to find one that only goes on four mile maximum excursions (I get tired easily). I would like to learn to crochet and knit but our local craft store charges too much for lessons. Book club? Art or music lessons? New recipes? A new pet? Invite someone over for dinner? Any suggestions?

I don't have anything political to share other than the political and economic scene are both pretty bleak right now! Enough said, I suppose.
