We'll try anything.
Among our favorite activities are dancing, Friday fish fries, parties, attending concerts, camping, socializing with other tall clubs, getting tattoos, dusting refrigerator tops.
Here's what we officially have planned for the future. However, be sure to check our voice mail (608-829-2969). We may have other things that we do more or less on the spur of the moment that didn't make it to the calendar.
