WOW that is pretty close to my situation except for golf. I do not do it because if I started in the morning I would still be on the golf course when the sun is going down. I can handle a miniture golf course.
I can not stand to be at home and wait for my buddies who probably will have to work till they drop because they did not plan to live this long and spent it all.
I will take a shop if I am going past the door and it fits into getting lunch for the beach, a convenience store or fast food. I will do the shop on paper at the beach instead of a crossword puzzle and it will be easy to report when I get off the beach and go home.
I enjoy playing a role. I can play an intercity shopper or a high end shopper with a change of clothes and change of vehicle. I am at neither end of those economic situations.
