I play tennis. I crochet. I have no pets. I like cats. I work as a lifeguard. I am not a good swimmer.
I love old music. I am older. I knit. I have a dog named Mickey.
How's Mickey doing? Have you gone for any long walks lately? Mickeys doing great. He's here right next to me. Unfortunately, we haven't gone for any walks because it's too cold outside. How is your weather? Is it warm enough for tennis? Glad to hear Mickey is doing well.  The weather here is pretty similar.  It's very cold - too cold to even leave the house.  Do you have any vacations planned? My friend and I were talking about taking a road trip this summer and visiting the Grand Canyon. I've never been, but it's on my list of places to visit. Do you have any plans? That sounds exciting.  I love road trips.  I don't have anything planned but it's fun to be spontaneous.  There are some places I'd like to camping up north.  Have you ever been camping before? I haven't camped in a long time. Last time was in Washington state after I finished college. It was beautiful. Where is you favorite place to go camping? My friend loves the upper northwest - he says that same thing about how beautiful it is.  I enjoy going up to northern Minnesota to the forests up there.  Lots of great fishing too.  Have you ever gone fishing before? I'm a lousy fisherman. The last two times that I tried, I caught nothing. I do love the water though. I was thinking about getting a kayak for exercise and maybe Mickey could even ride along with me. Ha sometimes not catching anything is just as relaxing.  That's why I enjoy that sport.  I've never been kayaking before but I bet that would be fun.  How much do those things usually cost? It all depends on the size and quality, but I was looking to spend about $500. Plus, I don't want one that's too large because I'll need to transport it with my SUV. I have a Honda Pilot. What kind of vehicle do you drive? That's not too bad.  Maybe I'll have to start looking at one myself.  That could be fun to do while camping if we are near water.  I drive a Honda Civic.  Nice and reliable although not the greatest in the snow.  Do you ever drive in the snow? I grew up in the northeast, so I'm used to driving in the snow. I'm a cautious driver though because I never know what the other drivers are going to do. Please be careful if you have any snow and watch out for ice!
