Wakeboarding, lots of different types of music, going to hear live music, getting acupuncture, learning about eastern medicine, war movies, and I'm sure are a bunch more things that I'm forgetting...

LOL...the truth isn't nearly as interesting as the things you guys are coming up with. It's an alcohol-based product that I carry on me at all times (not hand sanitizer). I use it for its intended purpose but then I take it a step further. It doesn't result in intoxication, but it's still fun for me.

That's great! We were both significantly overweight. I started losing weight and we decided we wanted to be more active. As he saw my success and started enjoying the things we were doing together, he was able to focus on losing weight and getting healthier, and he has done an awesome job!

That's the stuff that keeps the relationship going....congratulations, it sure is easier to do those things, when someone you like is right next to you. In my case, I had to step it up, because the first hike. she waited for me to catch up...which was humiliating...lol

I want to revive another skill that my heart has always been passionate about, which is singing.

I was a very good singer till 8th grade. My voice was lovely according to many friends, but both parents kept saying that "singing sweet music is a thing for girls", and discouraged me from building up my vocal skills to sing better .

Romantic music is my all time favorite. I hum it all the time (while in the shower, before going to sleep, when I am bored). I still sense the long lost voice within my hums, and it sounds so melodious. All I need is some encouragement to start singing again. At this point, I think teaching myself will be the best.

Pan fish straight on the fire (no gutting) peel off skin and eat right of the bone, toss the rest . And pike, don't grab them by the mouth with your hands...ouch, Lol

I know. I've caught quite a few in my time, but I throw them back like an inadequate lover.
I find Northern pike tastes "muddy" unless it's caught in very cold water. That means going out in April or October. I like to fish, but I'm not a masochist.
