Hmm... Dad taught me table tennis and that was a big part of my life, though not now.
I guess a thirst for knowledge, an inquisitive mind- that's what I was taught and what keeps me going.

Today's Question(s): Do you have a talent that was passed down to you that is still part of your life now?
Several of my relatives have musical talent and are amateur or professional musicians. I have loved and appreciated music all my life and probably would have become proficient on a musical instrument had the circumstances of my upbringing permitted it.
If so, what do you do?
I listen to music constantly and am especially fond of Classic Arts Showcase, the non-profit satellite service that plays short video clips from opera, symphony, dance and classic film 24 hours a day with no commercials.
If not, is there something you have taken up that you could/have pass on to others?
