Do I ever agree!  I went out with a couple of friends to a bar
recently, and NO THANKS, not for me.

So, what could these alternatives be?  I've seen an ad in one of the
local papers about a "singles" club -- people who get together to
play Trivial Pursuit (remember Trivial Pursuit?), go to shows in
Boston, that sort of thing.  Haven't had the chutzpah to try it,
yet.  Other ideas?
