The Sport of Grandmas

Does anyone know of a group of grandmas that gets together around here to gossip and sit around and get stiff knees and knit?  I'm looking to join in on the fun for Literary Journalism.  I want to gossip with them, learn knew knitting tricks, hear about the time grandpa nearly mowed his foot off back in '63, and then write it all up.  For real.  That's probably going to be my topic.  So if you know of anyone like that...

I can't think of a story to experience or research and then write for the semester.

But The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe is superb so far.  This guy knows his descriptions and metaphors. And quite a vocabulary.  I ran into a word I noticed several weeks ago again in chapter one: lugubrious.  "Looking or sounded sad and dismal."

Am I in a lugubrious situation regarding my topic-choosing difficulties?  Or is my heart lugubrious?  Or am I experiencing lugubrious feelings?  Not exactly sure.
