Let's Have a Playdate.

   Is it a go-go world or is it just me? Even without an actual job, modern life seems filled with  important stuff to do.
   The medical professionals tell us the importance of having and keeping friends for our overall mental, physical and emotional health. That depends on the friends. If your friends are chronic delinquents, needing bail money, borrowing your car and stuff  or calling you up drunk in the middle of the night, the effect is the opposite of what is hoped for.
  Assuming you have aquaintance of interesting and polite people, how often do you actually call one of them up and do something, just for a few laughs? We mean to, but time passes. Many of us have busy social lives, that don't count.
   Here's the Smoothstar Playdate Challenge. Call up someone you have met in the last six months and do a little fishing or take a hike or have a beer or go for a run or go see their iguana. You never know when you'll need someone to bail you out. Most of your old friends are tired of you by now.
