o Camping has been a lifelong favorite - from childhood to friends to family trips.
o I got hooked on thrifting thanks to SGIS faculty who brought me along to estate sales. The second sale I went to involved me calling my spouse and friends to bring their trucks and muscles. Consider yourself warned: it can be addictive.
o My interest in fish and aquascaping comes and goes, depending on how things are surviving.
o Plants - this hobby took off quickly - I went from 3 to 30 houseplants in a year.
o Soccer also often feels like a hobby - both my boys play year around so it keeps our schedule lively.
