DW and I are 60. Have been checking out the Seniors homes/clubs and Senior local newspapers for social activities with similar interested people, without much success. It seems that either the get togethers are either with a bunch of sedentary folks that constantly discuss who's sick now, or who's going in the hospital, while playing a slow moving game of canasta, or an event that gets cancelled 'cause no one showed up. Where are the emerging baby boomers that raised hell and charted a new course throughout their lifetimes, that have made it to ER status. Or has no one like that succeeded in achieving ER status. The couples that we find of a similar chronological age all appear to still be working, or even involved with their kids yet.
We consider ourselves intelligent, sociable, able to carry on a conversation about current world/local events and open to new and interesting things that we didn't have time to do when we worked. But other then groups whose primary mission seems to be bringing high calorie food to eat, which we certainly don't need anyway, we haven't been able to tap into a source for these kinds of groups. Are we just 5-10 years too early, or haven't found the right decoder ring yet?
