Been a while

7 Comments

Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time? Interesting question from the daily writing prompt.

Probably more than a few. I used to collect coins and stamps but gave up on those a a youth. I used to enjoy bowling but haven’t in many years. I used to play a good bit of basketball but in the last 2 decades it’s been a while between buckets.

This area has outgrew its roads and made motorcycling an activity I gave up to live longer. I used to shoot skeet fairly well in my younger days but haven’t thrown those clay pigeons in a long time. I do miss that sport.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.

  1. What hobbies do you do now to keep you physically or mentally active

    • I photograph, draw, carve, walk, exercise when I can and drive. A bit over an acre of property and a small home also keep me busy. One hobby that is a lot of fun are grandchildren. At least for a couple of years. Going to try kayaking again and maybe purchase one.

  2. Interesting picture

  3. Interesting question, Mike. I used to love collecting things especially coins, stamps, feathers and beautiful things as a kid but feel I have outgrown that phase and no longer do it.
