Beside movies/TV, I like to read and listen to music, mostly. But I also birdwatch and stargaze (both taken up during the pandemic lockdown). I also have a few musical instruments I play around with: clarinet, guitar, electric keyboard, and a harmonica.

By the way, I have a cousin who has the coolest collection of musical instruments from around the world, particularly from Africa. I'd say she has at least a couple of dozen different ones. Here's a few that she has (not pictures of her actual instruments):

Ever read for librivox?

reply

No. I only do it as a Hobby. I work 40 hours a week in a grocery store so I don't have that much time.

reply

That makes sense. I heard about it In 2009 and you just reminded me of it. It's an interesting hobby. Do you read straight or put it on almost as a radio show?

reply

No. Just record it on audacity.
