How do you feel about getting older?

Our friends have died, they’ve moved to be nearer to kids, they are working and I am not, etc. etc. Throw in the whole “can’t drive in the dark” thing and I feel discouraged. Anybody else?

I was starting to feel a bit of this until this summer, when I enrolled in a local PICKLEBALL beginner class. It’s been so much fun meeting other beginner players, some young but mostly retirees. I’ve met so many nice eople that I’ve met in class and local club and the indoor private courts. (About 20 of them are in my contacts as ‘PicB ______” …. so we can whip up a foursome if the weather looks good. Gonna play tomorrow afternoon. Nice bonus - outdoor play is mostly during daylight hours, and indoor courts/lessons easily available during the day.

Anybody curious to learn more should join us at this thread.

Surgeon general endorsement - The article says there are 50 million US pickleball players. So I thought CC should have a Pickleball thread. I started with a group class in June, sponsored by the local rec center (they provided paddles and balls ).
