Doing new things

[pegkerr]

sdn had an intriguing question here:

"i had dinner with a friend last night, and we talked about participating in activities that were out of our respective comfort zones.

knowing me, please suggest some things i can do that i might not have considered. jokes are fun but not entirely appreciated (i.e., "visit mars," "have a baby," "go white-water rafting!").

then i'll do them and tell you how they were.

I rather like this idea, since one of my greatest horrors has always been the thought that I might become too stultified and rigid, operating within a increasingly narrowing sphere as I age--although until I see how many suggestions I get, I think it would be rash to promise to do all of them. However, I will repeat her question: Knowing me, please suggest something for me to try that you think I can do but which I might not have considered trying before. If I do it, I will give you a report.

(I suggested, by the way, that sdn take a karate class.)

Don't know if you have a Costco membership, Peg, but if you do they sometimes have a little French easel set with paints, brushes, and a canvas for $40. Sure, the quality's pretty bad, but Arne found it entirely satisfactory for his brief experimentation with painting.
