A version of the "ladies who lunch" has been taken up by this retiree and 2 buddies. But we have work to do.
Having spent 58 years on some form of school schedule it is very weird to be out at 12:00 having lunch in a restaurant, solely inhabited by the "ladies who lunch". To their credit they use the event as a social gathering to nibble at a salad, enjoy a diet coke and mostly chat about the time that has elapsed since last they met, even if it has only been 24 hours! This event can last over 2 hours, or until it is time to pick the kids up from school, whichever comes first.
As for the guys who lunch, we met at noon, ordered, ate, talked about the Yankee demise and were back in our respective cars by 12:45. Needless to say this new form of recreation is an acquired taste. As we plan to meet next month, I can only hope that the Yankees are still playing baseball in October.
