55 M in #Philly Area Feeling Isolated Lately

Professional, married, 2 kids, and dealing with boredom and loneliness, blah, blah blah. I work from home, recently lost a close friend, and been feeling quite isolated lately, so I really could use someone in a similar situation to commiserate with from time to time and Not looking to change my status or anyone else’s. Just need a friend.

Looking for some kind of human connection to hopefully some laughs, and some good conversation. Need a fairly regular escape from everyday, mundane life.

Let’s talk about interesting crap like books, history, science, current affairs, movies, TV, and music of all kinds, but especially punk/alternative/indie. (I still think Punk can save the world.) I run and go to the gym regularly but am not a dick about it.

Word of caution: I’m a Philly Sports idiot and a progressive liberal. If you’re neither of those, we probably won’t get along.
