What should I do instead of watching TV?

I seem to eat dinner at 5:00 ish every day and then for lack of anything to do I just put re-runs of Seinfeld, Friends, King of Queens, etc on all night. What do other people do in the evening? I suppose I could read some but I am not much of a reader. What would be a good, interesting book? Anyway, kids are grown, wife and I are mid-forties.





Give me some great ideas. I'd love to go a month with NO TV!

What should I do instead of watching TV?
You should.....


a) get a pet, like a dog, cat, guinea pig, etc. that you can interact with. Play with them, teach them a trick...





b) Pick a topic, like a vacation place, country, or city, and learn everything you can about it. Visit museums, research online, read a book about it, they see if you can go there.





c) Join a sport. A lot of teams practice after dinner, or just go to the local swimming pool, and swim around. You could also go to the gym for a few hours and play basket ball with your friends, or another sport.





d) go to the library and find 4 or 5 reccomended books, so if you don't like one, you can read the other.





Hope this is best answer!

Reply:Have you thought of audio books? Also the bible is very interesting, and also on audio. Gardening is a great hobby too.
Reply:Take a night course at a local community college, ie. learn a new language or study a subject that might be of interest to you and your wife.
Reply:Sit in the silence until you see what it is in your thoughts that you are ignoring by distracting yourself with television and work on it to become a better person.

take walks around your neighborhood

cook maybe?
Reply:Now that the nicer weather is here, you could garden (or cut the grass at night), read a magazine, play board games with your family, go out and play a round of crazy golf or 10-pin bowling, do a chore for your wife without mentioning it (she'll love that), if you have a dog - take it for a walk. You could also take up a hobby - find something that interests you and learn how to do it.
