Life is too short to waste time.
Fresh air, sunshine, exercise, and human contact are essential elements of a good life. To achieve balance between toiling and sloth, I find the game of pétanque quite helpful, along with simply walking, and regular physical training.
PÉTANQUE
This is a nice way to spend some time outdoors with interesting people. Here are some groups we have been associated with over the years:
Atascadero Pétanque
Claremont Pétanque
Federation of Pétanque USA
Fresno Pétanque Club
La Boule du Désert
Los Angeles Pétanque Club
WALKING
We don't live in Claremont anymore, but when there like to connect with these folks:
Get Walking Claremont
We all have things that we like to share with others. Reading, writing, making art, cooking and sharing good meals with friends, experiencing live music and theatre are some of the things that keep me going. Here are some links you might find interesting...
