Advice for Life: Do Something Fun

When is the last time that you had fun?  We all get so busy with work and life that sometimes we forget to have fun and what is fun for one person, may not be fun for you.  A few years ago I thought I needed to be more cultured so I started going to the opera and the ballet on a regular basis, thinking it would be "fun".  While I have a huge appreciation for the talent and dedication that goes into perfecting ones art, I hated it as an audience member.  It was not fun - so I started doing something that was fun for me- playing board games. 

I love board games, and have a particular fondness (read obsession) for playing Chinese Checkers.  Now I realize that playing board games may not be everyone's idea of fun either, especially on a Saturday night, but I can think of few other things I would rather do than spend an evening playing board games.  It is fun for me.  For other friends, fun is salsa dancing, taking a photography class, or training for a marathon, you name it, "fun" runs the gamut.  What's your idea of fun?
