Besides finding a new restaurant, sometimes I try to see if there are any sports games with cheap tickets to go to or going to see live music.

Free time? What's this strange thing you speak of?

I actually go out with the team for an hour or to and then do my thing...

Read, go to the movies (AMC A List is great), gym

My team only meets up at the end of the year. So I volunteer at night.

I interchange and go to one dinner, then skip the next one.

Shopping... Unfortunately
