Even though I usually only end up going out and doing things two or three times a week, it’s inevitable that a couple of those two or three things are on the same day. I don’t really know how to avoid this, and it would be nice if everything always fell to a different day, but with a fairly random distribution, you get repeats and that’s okay.
One particularly vexing conflict occurs tomorrow. The Montgomery General Hospital Picnic and Bazaar is going on, which I helped set up for with the Lion’s Club and ostensibly I should be helping break down as well. It only happens once a year, but I don’t think there’s a very good chance of meeting anyone there. I see Lions and I see family but I have a hard time making new friends at such events.
The other option is the Scrabble Meetup. They only meet once a month, and some months at locations that I can’t get to easily. This time it’s at my favorite location. I meet people at these events and generally I have a great time. I think I’m going to have to go with this option, because I partake in so few events where making new friends is a likely outcome.
If any of you wanted to attend either with me, though, I’d be glad to bend one way or another to accommodate you. All I really want is good company.
