The trend with little kids these days is to make “play dates.” This is
when the parents arrange for the their children to get together and have a
good time.

I’d like to suggest that adults do it, too. Why not make a play date
with a friend or co-worker today? Get together to do something active,
like going for an evening walk or to a school or park playground, or
shooting a basketball through the hoop or tossing a Frisbee.

Please don’t think you’re too old for that. Don’t let anyone think it’s
a “pick-up” either (or may be it is!). It’s really good for us to
connect and be together. Just do it.
Please don’t think you’re too fat, just do it.

What are some activities you love to play?  What are some you are planning to schedule a “play date” for?
