When my youngest went to kindergarten, I started writing. I wrote a 170k book over four months. It's safely tucked away in a file on my computer. It's a tad too long. I didn't set out to write a story that long, it just poured out of me.

Several of my lifetime deep dives have been music related. Boy, do i remember those days of trying to crib lyrics. I play guitar and sing (folk style stuff mostly) so that was how I generated a lot of repertoire. I’m old enough that a lot of my lyric harvesting was done from vinyl. What a job!

I’ve also taught myself the basics of several other musical instruments over the years. If I had a chance to borrow something, I’d give it a try. So I’ve played some trumpet, oboe, flute, recorder and piano over the years. Mainly for my own enjoyment, though I did play trumpet in college marching band (percussion was boring). And at one point I bought a kit and built a hammer dulcimer so I could learn to play that.
