Last Sunday evening, feeling at loose ends at home, I texted 2 friends to see if they were interested in hanging out. Got one that's out of town, another that said yes. We went over and chatted for a while. It was good.
But I definitely feel like people knew how to hang out better, and to enjoy themselves more, in the BSP era - before smart phones. It seems like people don't joke around very much now, or take any kinds of social risks.
I'm trying to do this more.
