Island Hobbies

I've been trying to find a hobby recently and it has been very challenging. We probably have just as many interest groups here as in any other area. However, after work and getting everything that a seven year old needs (today's need were shorts for gym class but that's a different blog post), all I really want to do is watch This is Us (my husband hates this show with a passion for some reason). But watching television isn't really as satisfying as it was a million watching hours ago so the search goes on. 

There is a radio amateur club that my husband really wanted to join but it usually occurs at the same time as his MUFON meetings (if you're interested in MUFON, come see us at 1 p.m. on the first Saturday of every month at VI Coffee Roasters in Christiansted). There are also organizations concerning the environment, boating, clay, painting and pretty much anything. Last year we joined the Orchid Society which has been interesting but summertime means we don't really have meetings. Through the Orchid Society, I found out that there is a Bonsai Society. I've also recently heard about a cigar club and of course, we have a Rotary Club. There are also the Freemasons, and if you want to invite us, let me know!

So tons of clubs but so hard to decide on one or even two and make time for it. And obviously there are a ton of hobbies that don't even require joining a club but I can't decide on any of those either. So after a lot of consideration, I decided to reinstate my Mensa membership and see how many other members there may be here on island. This may be a failed restart but it's the first one that I have been semi-excited about so I am going to give it a try and see what happens.
