Until recently I had no idea there was a national community dedicated to encouraging and supporting adults in recovering and affirming their playful spirit and creating community, among many other things. The organization is called InterPLAY and has a program coming up here in Knoxville, Tennessee. If you’ve been looking for an opportunity to play, this should be that and more.

Ever wonder what to do with old batteries? I found a great site listing drop-off locations. The link below will take you to Chattanooga area locations, but you can find a place anywhere in the country if you go to the main page.
