RE: The pros and the emotionally conned
I think it is pretty incredible how fast we are able to learn a skill to a fun level of ability. Mastering obviously takes much more but for most things isn't necessary.
I will tell home of course. :)
That was part of the reason I did it - learn a new skill to open up new areas of the brain. Before the Ukulele (having next to no musical experience as a kid) I taught myself to juggle. Juggling is said to be great for the mind.
Now I was willing to put in the time to learn to juggle 3 balls - and that didn't take that long to master. Maybe 30 minutes a day for 3 weeks. But going up to 4 is a big step. I can pick up 3 of anything now and juggle (once you have it you've got it for life). If I can motivate myself as your post suggests, I might try to free up some time to learn 4. In fact - yes I am going to find the time.
What about you T - aside from writing, any talents you have developed lately?

I have heard this but never seriously tried.
I was getting more heavily into photography before the baby was born but it was so difficult with her that the dedicated learning got put on hold. At the 2 year point (January) I am going to give myself a very hard look in the mirror here and adjust. 12 hours a day plus work and family is too much to continue with.
I also started dancing about 10 years ago and have added several different styles but that has been on hold the last 2 years mostly too. The goal is to get the little one up and running to the point we don't have to worry about leaving her somewhere overnight.
