We visited our friends' upper crust recreation center yesterday. It is the focal point of a housing development where 55+ coots and cootettes pay an extra $155 a month to enjoy a panoply of activities. What a place! A first-class "guaranteed-to-keep-you-busy" facility. Everything from golf to a full-sized softball field, including scoreboard. Pretty tempting, but I haven't entered my old coot phase yet, and I surely don't have and extra $300k to buy a house and shell out $155 a month on top of it.
We'll just visit when I get in the mood to play ball.
