Ok, I might as well go first: I wish I could draw. Not at the level where I could make photorealistic portraits, but I've always been envious of those who are able to scetch something together in a few minutes that perfectly captures what they want to convey. Sometimes words aren't enough to express what I want to say, and for those situations I would love to have a simple drawing do the talking for me.

Music. Probably singing and acoustic guitar. I really like singing, even if I'm really bad at it, and I like getting lost in music. Yes I can listen to some music, but I feel like doing it yourself gives it something more. Someday I'll get classes haha, I need more hours in my day

    I've been playing guitar and singing for 20 something years. When you really hit a groove and nail a song, it's an indescribable feeling. You kind of travel outside yourself. Now, when you get others involved and make music, it's transcendental.

    I have been blessed with zero rhythm or musical ability. I’ve never been able to clap on beat for example.

    We watch family feud and I can be clapping along (to make my wife laugh primarily) all on my own not even beat with the audience, and I don’t even notice I’m off!

    The great irony is I have much better hearing than the average person.
