Here is my itinerary for the weekend…

Last week, I started posting photos of what my Do Something Dice suggested I do for fun during the upcoming weekend.

According to this roll of the dice, over the next 2+ days, I should aim to:

1. Attend a live sporting event.
2. Go out to see a movie. In my book, Netflix doesn’t count.
3. Workout at a gym. [Sorry, the garage with my exerbike and resistance bands is my ‘gym’.]
4. Dine at a fancy restaurant.

I’m most interested in our choice of restaurants and which movie we will choose to see. It’s been years since we went to the local cinema.

Here is my itinerary for the weekend…

Do Something Dice.

Roll for your next adventure.

According to this roll of the dice, over the next two days**, I should aim to:

1. Go to a sporting event. [Maybe I’ll stop for five minutes at a high school soccer game en route to our fancy restaurant–die #4.]
2. Go out to a movie. [Netflix at home doesn’t count. Will probably see what’s at the Darkside Cinema.]
3. Go to a fitness club. [Sorry, not going to join one just because some silly wooden cube is telling me to. My garage works just fine, and for less cash, as a fitness club, though I haven’t yet installed my juice bar or sauna…]
4. Fancy restaurant. Hmmmm…Taco Vino [tonight’s plan] doesn’t quite qualify. Maybe I’ll order their gourmet plate [if they have one].

How did I do last weekend? Grade: D

1. Go running. [How about walk and waddle?]
2. Visit a museum. [I looked up the best online museums to visit. Yes, it’s cheating. But I didn’t get to those either.]
3. Listen to live music. [Meant to find some downtown buskers, though Imagine Coffee has someone almost every night. Will try that again.]
4. Order or make pizza. [I made a Serbian flatbread–lepinja–that served quite capably as a pizza.

I shelled out an exorbitant 75 cents for this fun approach to weekend planning.

They’re called

Do Something Dice.

Roll for your next adventure.

2. Visit a museum.

Let’s see how I do. [I’m hoping that fast walking will satisfy the invisible ‘retirement judiciary”s expectation of running.]
