Since turning 40, I have started to play the guitar and mandolin, though I had some very basics a long time ago. I learned Swedish, though I am not proficient; I am passable. I became a cognitive scientist after 40, after being a lawyer for most of my career (new skills: reading/writing scientific papers, designing experiments, statistical analysis that I hadn't done in 20 years, etc). I learned how to bake (bread, mostly), though I knew pretty well how to cook in general since I was young, so this maybe wasn't too difficult.
