    Music. I have a degree in Music History, but I haven’t made a living with it for 25 years, although I still loved music.

    During COVID, I was bored, and eating, so I took up guitar again, after leaving it behind decades ago. I’ve played every day since, and not only reached an intermediate level (far better than I ever was in the past), but I’ve also lost 100 pounds, by picking up my guitar instead of going to the fridge.

    Now I’m experimenting with recording, using cheap used gear, and having a blast.
