I dabble a lot. I can get highly focused on one activity, but I have a short attention span, so I never get very good at anything. Things I have dabbled in:
-
Art: drawing; watercolors; rock, furniture, wooden box, and walking stick painting; polymer clay
-
Learning Mandarin Chinese - I have a huge box of language learning materials in the attic. I spent a year making a map of China translating place names to English (Beijing = North Capitol, Shanghai = above the sea, etc). But I never got even close to being fluent.
-
Sports - tennis, golf, softball
-
Dog Sports - Agility, nosework, trick training
-
Music - took trumpet, guitar, and drum set lessons
-
Nature - wild plant ID, birdwatching, rock collecting
My dorks, I mean dogs, doing the spin command.
