This is not a swingers post. Swingers and sex people need not apply.

My wife and I enjoy hanging around with old people. Although some people may find them crotchety and unpleasant, we enjoy sitting down and talking about the old days or just listening to old folks’ stories. Everywhere we’ve lived, we’ve made friends with older people or couples in our neighborhood and just gone over there every now and then to shoot the shit, hang out, bring them cookies, whatever. But that just hasn’t happened yet for us here. I think there are just not a lot of old people where we live now in Aurora. So I wanted to ask, where can we meet some old folks? I don’t really want to have the caregiver type relationship, just more like porch-talk type friendships. Also, I’m disabled, so I like having hiking buddies who are a little slower for my pace.

I’ve really enjoyed getting to know a lot of older hippy types over the years. We don’t really want to hang out with the permanently-watching-Fox-News type of old people; rather, we’d like to meet the mellow, countercultural types. I’ve gotten a lot of good advice from them.
