As regular readers of my blog might know, I have started to go out, a lot. Initially I only went out with friends, but eventually I started to go out by myself sometimes and just make friends on the fly. Why do I do it? For one thing, it’s fun. Really fun.

With the start of the New Year, I renewed my commitment to healthy eating and exercise. I fell off the horse for a bit, but then I got back on.
