> Google, “[this activity I like] for dummies” and learn for a week. Call me shallow, but everything I like to do is something I've researched exhaustively. This is also related to the reason why it'd be very difficult for me to come up with "30 specific activities [I'm] interested in". Somewhat OT: We are in a dawn of the second career (or third, fourth, fifth). As we live longer and longer and are required to support ourselves with our own pensions, we'll see more and more people giving up what they know in order to pursue enlightenment in some other unrelated field. Lack of employer sponsored pensions, continuing education, and vesting schedules is a key identifier [and has been for a while] to this.
