5. If one is open nearby, take her to an art museum, or some other taste of culture . . .

spend the afternoon wandering through the halls, sipping coffee or a soft drink in the gardens, then take in a nice dinner somewhere.

For me, a far better way to pass the time than sitting in a darkened movie theater or shouting at each other in a club, as you'll be able to quietly converse throughout the experience as you tumble upon hidden delights in the collections. It's also in the daytime, which is important when you get to be our ages, and the day will have a decided end (of one sort or another), after a day of wandering and an evening's repast.
