I have a friend …

One of the complaints I constantly hear from the few single friends I have left is how difficult it is for over 30, non-graduate student types to find Mr. or Ms. Right in this town.

So that’s why the Urbana Park District’s “Singling out nature” program piqued my interest. The park district is offering once a month “singles” events (or to put it more politically correctly, events for adults 25 and up who are interested in meeting new people who also love the outdoors. I guess that means that old married folk like myself still qualify) this summer.

Registration ends today for this month’s event, a Meadowbrook Park Garden Tour on Monday night. The next event sounds even more intriguing, especially for those people who like to observe nature from the comforts of air conditioning. The group will explore “the nature of wine” at the Corkscrew on July 25.
