This is a group for those who love ideas, culture, great conversations, and staying active all year long. We read works of (primarily) fiction with a strong sense of time and place, ideally written by an author from the locale in which it’s set. Traveling the world in our reading, it seems only fitting that the discussion be also on the move! So we take our conversations out-of-doors for a walk around our wonderful local Twin cities neighborhoods, lakes, parks, etc. and conclude for final though …

This group is for both the experienced pole walker and those curious about what we're doing out there with our poles.

We'll explore lots of trails throughout the metro area and beyond. There's usually extra poles in the trunk of my car so you don't have to have your own to join us.

Featured in a racquetball or squash court, Wallyball provides the element of surprise as an ordinary volley can go a whole new direction with spiking the ball off the walls in many directions. Good Wallyball players use this as a key strategy to confuse and distract opponents. The result can be devastating. Wallyball is not just volleyball played in a racquetball court. It is a separate sport with separate rules, and play …
