Thanks for the suggestions. Campaigning for a political party or candidate is not something I would do unless there was someone I really believed in which is unlikely. Volunteer work is a good idea. Actually a part time job would be good too. And believe me I am not a great liar so I would definitely do whatever excuse I would use. Otherwise I would cross myself up I am sure. I will check out meet-up as well.
