At the moment my executive function seems to be on summer break, but prior to that I had been designing a bird feeder in Fusion360. I usually find CAD to be a great way to shut out the world.

Bicycles and playing bass. I also started collecting CDs a few years ago and that one is still going strong.

Learning French. I bought some beginners books, I’m listening to French music on Spotify, and I’m trying to decide which TV show to watch to immerse myself in it a bit.

I don’t expect to become fluent, mostly I’m just tired of mispronouncing French words/phrases I find in text that is otherwise English. It seems like everyone else had a couple years of French in high school and I want to be at that level.
