The loneliness of the modern office team member

My wife and the other moms in her mom group keep saying that they want the husbands to get together and do something. They just don't understand. We have nothing in common, and the shared experience of having kids is not even close to enough.

I hear this too. But I think that making friends is about diversifing your interests and theirs as well. Humans in frequent contact with each other tends to move towards alignment.

yeah but you have to have something. A liberal computer nerd and a firefighter steeped in macho culture are just not gonna work.

Tri-tip and beer? If you have any friend-slots open I'd like to apply. :)
