Jim - doing things on your own is lousy.
But not as lousy as doing nothing again, ever.

They gave a fuji apple tree to a guy in the audience. Brought him up on stage and made him take this long vow to plant it, and care for it, and send pictures in to their website.

It was hilarious.
The tree w/new owner pictures are pretty cool. It looks like Mini Me is in one of them...

I've been in a mostly foul mood for about the last 11 weeks. Last night, desperately wanted to go and do something on the violent side, but legal (squash is the one activity in my life that easily fits into this category) , but didn't particularly feel like talking to anyone or having to answer the 'how are you?' question. Got there, all of the usual crowd had cancelled, so I played by myself. It was great. I didn't have to talk to anyone and still got to smash something against a wall without being hauled away by the police. After that, logged on and had a great chat with Ali and Ducks. WIN, WIN.

And my point: doing stuff by yourself can be GREAT.

Doing things alone can be great. Take walks, flip channels while pretending to watch tv, shopping - either food or fun, building/fixing stuff around the house, landscaping maintenance ...

Learning to be alone and do things alone can be very powerful and productive.

Good for you Casi - I used to play racquetball when I was younger and loved to do that when the place was empty - Great stress relief.
