A place to talk about things you're giving a shot and liking. It can be new food, new books, new hobbies, new people...whatever. Starting because as I creep into my 30s I can already feel the mental ossification setting in.
I'll start.
I have gotten wrapped up in fly fishing, which I still don't quite understand since its basically the trad-bow hunting version of fishing. But I'm loving it. Tying flies, flicking flies, and trying to detect fish biting those flies is something that requires you to be present, and I'm coming to appreciate that more and more. It's a stark contrast to the way I have historically hunted and fished, placing an emphasis on results first.
Also bought my first packet of green tea this week. Trying to develop an appreciation for the world's most ubiquitous beverage. Slow going, tbh. My favorite part about it so far is the little Japanese tea cup my wife gifted me.
