    I tried knitting. Epic fail. 😞

    It's no joke. Watched my grandmother for years as a kid and was like "Yeah, ok.....". I'm a programmer by trade but she was working that thread like nobody's business and I sometimes couldn't follow her if I tried to even watch to see her method.

    It's a skill, there's no doubt, but I'm sure you could do it. 😀

    I like to go for long hikes, listen to music really loud, & have some edibles

    I'm self-admittedly not a big reader, so props to you and all who are.

    Love going to concerts....just took the kids to the 8 yr-old's first concert.....Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Three Days Grace......it was fantastic.

    Really glad to hear your last one......that's an awesome thing to have.

    Fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

    Nothing like hiking a hard trail! Gets the blood flowing, heart racing, invigorating!!

    I’m obsessed with music!! I have it on about 75% of the time! The louder the better- that way you can actually feel it..lol...

    List time!
    • Crochet
    • Knit
    • Play Magic Arena (card game)
    • Read a book
    • Netflix and chill (in the literal sense, not in the weird Millennial lingo sense)
    • Rarely, I draw.

    Wow! That's a great list. I know several that crochet. It's pretty amazing to see what they create.....and knitting, that's kind of other level to me.

    Glad to hear there are still many who pass that on. Good for you!

    Oh, and what's Magic Arena?

    It's the online component for Magic: the Gathering, a trading card game that's been around since 1993.

    Right! Saw Breaking Benjamin in a small venue in the city......it was awesome. Bass drum hit so hard I could feel it deep in my chest. Fantastic! 😎🤘😎

    I make pastries in my kitchen.

    Which is also why I’m still here.

    Man, I love to cook, but I can't make stuff like that. I'm convinced it's truly an art.

    Fantastic!

    once upon a time...filled my car with gas...just drove for hours.. stayed in a motel near a nice beach.. next day... Drove back and took the scenic route..

    Oh wow.....I can relate to this so much.

    Hwy 1/PCH in Cali was always a bucket list for me being from the midwest. Got to do it twice. It was incredible and unbelievably relaxing.
