For me, I have these two high school friends from the old days. One of them forces us to meet for lunch a few times of year. I usually go, but groan about points and they order dessert and extra stuff just to stay at a table and chat for a long time.
This time, I said "let's meet in Portsmouth (NH, a really cool seacoast city with shops, restaurants, etc.) and WALK instead of just sitting at a restaurant for hours. We can talk while we walk. They went for it. Tomorrow is supposed to be a nice day, not hot and humid. Picture me with my sneakers on walking through the city instead of sitting there eating way too much food. A new tradition?


Had to cool down couples of time, but manage to do it in 28 minutes
