Claire
Master Chef
I know I started a line like this many moons ago (it may have even been before DC), but something I just wrote brought it to the front of my mind yet again:
Your first place is your home; where you live. Your second place is your job, where you go every day to make payments on the first place (!)
What is your third place?
I have always had a "happy hour" place. Long about 5-6 p.m. on Fridays, Everywhere I've lived, you can find me at a favored bar, sipping some wine. I met my husband at such a place. Right now, if you come to my town, anyone knows to look for me at 5, and I have about a dozen like-minded friends who will be there with us.
There are a few men who are at the library when it opens (11 a.m.), and they sit together mostly in silence, reading all the newspapers.
I've yet to find a town that doesn't have a McD's group of retired men sitting over breakfast/coffee, hashing over the latest.
We all love our spouses, but no one can be everything for another, 24/7. Where do you go to socialize on a regular basis?
