I need a hobby. In some ways, my time is overbooked, with volunteer work, family obligations, and working on my writing, but I don’t do anything relaxing or fun with other people on a regular basis. I have a lawyer friend who drives a bobcat around her little farm.
the bobcat out clearing brush
My cousin Barb, off now to Ukraine, kayaks with friends off the coast of Alaska.

Yet another friend plays clarinet in a volunteer orchestra
how did they train her?
I know I’d write better, explore more of the ideas circling my brain, if I did something with other people–something besides good works, which, I confess, don’t refresh me. I know farming and kayaking are not for me. I’d like to know what works for other people. How about you?
