My kids can still get hold of me.

In addition to (in spite of?) the activities listed above, I also spend many evenings watching the news and a show with my wife. I read. I ride my bike. I exercise. I actually play video games on occasion. I practice my guitar. I try to learn a language. All these activities are solo (or with my wife) and largely at home! How can I possibly be a Villager and enjoy being home that much!!??!! It just doesn't compute! I feel like I just don't measure up to The Villages standards for being ACTIVE!!

How do I deal with this intense "Villages Pressure"?

I understand.
