The other day, just off the top of her head, Susana came up with this list of hobbies in which we owners of Pacific Gardens Cohousing Community, collectively, are involved:

baking

bicycling

bird-watching

choir

cooking

dancing -- all kinds of dance!

dialogue groups

gardening

geocaching

Tai Chi

theatre

travel

voluntary simplicity circle

volunteering in the community

yoga

In running down that list, I like the look of drumming. But I've just taken up singing, dancing and Tai Chi, so I'll have to see how I can work drumming into the mix. Susana says there are classes in which one can do drumming and dancing.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that I'm getting back into bicycling. Of course that's not counting the kayaking lessons that I'm planning to take this spring. Or the visit I'm soon going to pay to Tofino for storm watching.
