Hobbies and Interests

[Tech Admin]

Hi all!

I like to get to know people and I think hobbies and interests are a great way to do that!

What do you all do for fun? I know Chron's can make a lot of things harder, but is there something you really enjoy that you get to do on a regular basis? Maybe a sometimes hobby that you like?

I'm a big reader. Give me a book, and a decent light source (my eyes are getting old) and I am as pleased as I can be. I also enjoy foraging, so most of my reading is on that including medicinal herbs, edible plants, and really anything you can use if you find it growing.

What are young guys into?

Big reader of fantasy and historical fiction. Also mysteries (often with historical themes).

When I have the time, I love to game. I grew up in the 80s and video games sucked back then (I know the nostalgic crowd loves them but I lived it and I remember being in arcades and playing on
my old apple 2 and thinking THIS SUCKS!

And then I got a really big complication after surgery # 6 Like BIG. 1 1/2 years of home care.

Bought an xbox 360. Started out with Fable (because I am a fantasy DnD nerd) and now…

the problem is that I don’t have much time. But I play with my boys. And by myself, I’ve slowly and casually made it through many big RPG video games and oh my goodness, gaming is amazing today.

So yeah. Gaming.

I also love music. I love Jazz. I live in Montreal so we have lots of jazz.

And some of the new jazz artists today are doing things that Davis, Hancock, Coltrane and Monk would be so proud of. Most of the artists I listen to are in their twenties.

The rest of my hobbies all have to do with doing fun stuff with my boys (10 year old twin boys!)
