    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.

    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...

    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.

    Have never been east/ne......but planning to get to Boston sometime next year. Hoping I can roll down the coast that way.

    If you make it back out to San Fran and have a chance, take the PCH out of Pacifica there.....you won't regret it. Went down to Santa Cruz the first tim. Super cool smaller town....boardwalk, etc......second time on further to Monterey.....both fabulous drives. 😎

    I tried knitting. Epic fail. 😞

    Same. Me and textiles are a no-go. There's like, three dimensions involved. And the whole tension thing. I'm terrible with handling tension.

    On a regular basis, I listen to music, do yoga, go for walks, read, take baths, and get massages.

    When I really need to reset, I travel to places and do naturey things. Costa Rica is my favorite.

    If I have time I dance....music is always a constant ....I read for work now so its not as relaxing but that used to be a lovely way to unwind....glass of wine....

    Walks are great but I can't get out without kiddo so I just try to find things I can do from home
    (With music on always)
    Cooking/baking
    Drawing/painting
    Maybe some crafts

    Anything I can get lost in....

    Good thread!!🤗

    That's a great talent.....keep it up. When you overcome your shyness you might be surprised.

    Nice. 😎

    My wife's a big Gin lover. There's a fantastic distiller in Downtown KC that makes some of the best they've ever had. She's more of a Collins-style drinker though. 😁
