WS, I don't thing there is THE answer that would be a panacea for the seemingly endless hours that sometimes face us when we roll out of bed in the morning. I was involved in Masonry and the Shrine prior to my wife's death. Since her death I have become more involved. I work 32 hours a week and have three days to do as I please. If I want a day off to extend my long weekend, I can always work two or three hours per week overtime. My employer doesn't pay overtime, except in emergencies, but you can accumulate compensatory (comp) time very easily.
In july, I bought a second motorcycle, and a day without riding is a day without sunshine. to me, riding is a mental laxative, in that it gets all the stuff out of my head. That way I can look at my other interests, play my guitar on a regular basis, spend a little more time with my two miniature schnauzers. In my actiities, I still get to cook and am always on the lookout for new techniques and recipes.
I have dated some women, but at present, I'm just not looking for a relationship. I was married 40 years to a wonderful woman, no one can replace her, and I guess I don't want anyone sharing my home and life at this point.
I guess the best advice is do what you want to do, do a lot of it and do it with people you care about.
