Hiking the White Mountains is great, but this group will provide many options closer to home for outdoor fun. We'll have occasional distant excursions as well though. During the colder months, we'll do lots of active indo …

Let's face it, "Friday night" means something entirely different now that you've been out of college for a few years and are married or in a committed relationship (without kids). And what's worse, it seems like all of your friends from college or high school aren't interested in the same kind of Friday night that you are. Maybe those friends are still single and enjoy the party scene that you just don't care for anymore. Or maybe some of those friends are married like you but have kids and just …
