Lend me your expertise...(Intro)

Lately, the trend for folks my age has me pondering where to direct my energy, on what to focus.

Wellsir, I've been in love with doing since I can remember. Moving, trying, tasting. Getting into things. Meeting people. Learning!

So, for a while, 'doing' will be my focus. Doing (at least) one new, novel or keen thing each week. My goal will be to expand my mind, step intentionally out of my comfort-sphere, collaborate with other people doing their thing, have lots of fun and write all about it. These are all things I already do, but loosely. This blog, and this week, will be the start of documentation.

I have a few ideas to get started, but I've found that the best ideas for good times come from friends, often out of nowhere. Please throw me your suggestions for cool things to do - say:

swell vegan/vegetarian foods to try
Chicago-area neighborhoods to explore
cerca-urban day-adventures
hobbies you dig
your friendly book club that'd welcome a guest one week
off-the-map music shows to check out
book-signings
mustache-wearing/clothes-swapping/money-raising themed parties
meditation sessions
skyscrapers with great views
teach me how to DJ
show me how to write basic code
throw me your recipe for avocado cake
give me your expert run-down on fixed gear bikes...
let's collaborate on a movie short,
or a comic strip
or write a folk song...

I'm up for almost anything you'd be up for. Why not?


Best,
LL
