Indeed, congratulations especially to all those who made it for the first time.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

QuestionWhat Are Your Passions in Life?protectorAspDotNetDev6 Jan '13 - 19:38 
A friend of mine has expressed dismay at his lack of a passion in his life. Something that he has seen in others that keeps them motivated from day to day. I already gave him a bunch of ideas for things to try, but I'm curious what you all do that excites you (e.g., writing, kayaking, genetically engineering dragons)?
 
Note: "programming" and "family" are the obvious answers, so those are not allowed. Smile | :)

Playing guitar. Been playing since 1978.

Great idea! I hadn't even thought of music (I myself am not yet of that inclination). Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

When your email came through I wasn't sure which of my two posts in this thread it was in response to Wink | ;)
 
I don't play enough guitar these days to keep up the calluses - but got RockSmith as an Xmas Pressie - which has been a good excuse to get the axe out again!

Volunteer firefighting (real busy day coming tomorrow). I have a specialist communications role (two, actually) and the whole thing is mentally challenging and rewarding (if you don't totally stuff up!) A great mob to work with, then relax at the end of a hard day.
 
Cheers,
Peter
