Sorry Wanda, we'll have to reschedule, we can't make tonight's group meeting!

In general I found the article positive about TV. He was very impressed with the ambiance of the Villages, clearly saw the level of activity available and for golfers the paradise of playing endlessly. He also managed to interject the diversity and cultural differences we enjoy. I found his comment about the recreation centers being so elaborate very amusing. I have always felt their decorated themes are over the top. Just like the signs on the "historic" building in the town squares.....the stuff of theme parks and very quirky.
Then he spoke about the underside of the Villages which most certainly exists. We do not live in a bubble, much as we would like to believe it. I do believe there are men and women cruising the town squares looking for "companionship". We have folks who drink to much and drive, there are robberies and domestic squabbles, neighborhood disputes and rule breakers in every village. That's life in the city, and that is exactly what we are ...... a small city.

Just didn't care for the F word used as the writer did. It is used as a shock value. I have always felt that writers that can not express themselves adequately use these words.
