I used to "hang out" with my college buddies, converging on some lounge each evening and deciding what we wanted to do for dinner or for the weekend. For me, "hanging out" is the same as "play", unstructured quality time. We adults need it too! In England or Ireland, we would have a local "pub" to hang out in. In America, fortunately, we have cohousing. -- Martin Tracy, Los Angeles mtracy [at] ix.netcom.com
