Any given Sunday, there’s talk, there’s prep, there’s pregame. Runs to the grocery store, calls to friends, bets placed, menu planned. It’s all part of the fun of being a football fan. But this weekend, a few hours that would have been dedicated to being a New England Patriots fan, will be freed up. The Pats have a bye week, and that gives all of us a chance to take full advantage and try one or all of these 9 cool things to do around Boston.

You can do laundry, of course. you could clean out the garage, rake leaves, pay bills or Netflix and chill. Or you can do something outside of the norm and mundane. I’ve put together a few suggestions for you here, with the help of thebostoncalendar.com, eventbrite.com and common sense. And hey remember, there’s always next Sunday for chili, the couch and the Patriots. Do you think it’ll be Mac or Zappe next week? Oh, let’s not go there. Let’s go here…

  When was the last time you saw a movie, in an actual movie theater? It’s time you got out and enjoy a really big screen. The new movie Spirited is finally out. See Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds in this period musical comedy, that was mostly filmed around the Boston area, although it’s set in New York (boo). Don’t worry, the Pats will get the Jets next Sunday. Anyway, there are a few good movies out there to see. Check your local listings.

  Since we don’t have the GOAT playing for the Patriots anymore, this is a great way to get over it and have a fun, healthy Sunday. Take a hike! It’s a leisurely hike through the beautiful grounds and trails ofSouthboro’s Chestnut Hill Farm. And yes, you will be joined by one or more of their friendly goats! “Goats are naturally playful and curious creatures. They love to follow the leader and stick together, which makes them perfect hiking companions!” (The Boston Calendar)

• 9. Tour Boston's Revolutionary (And Drunken) Past

  Yup, you can drink a Sam Adams while learning about Sam Adams. Sip on local craft beer while learning about Boston’s revolutionary (and drunken) past. These guided tours are fun, and educational. I’ve been on one and highly recommend! You will walk the Freedom Trail and visit 10 historic sites related to the American Revolution, grabbing a beer at 3 historic taverns along the way.
