I find that fascinating, Sabrina. I am a singer, too. Or used to be , anyway. And opera is something i've never done. I believe one either has an appreciation for it or doesn't. I like listening to it but do not have the voice for it. But I could listen to Pavarotti all day. As far as I'm concerned, there was only ONE tenor, not three. His voice had this quality that is indescribable, it's like going to a symphony, but there are no other instruments playing along.

As far as my hobbies, I would be embarrased to list them, as I have so many that I have not time to indulge in them all. My favorite is needlework. I like the intricacies....I do counted cross stitch, needlepoint, embroidroidery, crewel, a little crochet but don't give me knitting needles because I get so frustrated they would become harry-carry weapons very quickly. Once I took tatting classes and loved it. But promptly walked out the door and forgot it all. It's basically knots but I don't have the eyesight or patience for that anymore. I am a sewer (pronounced 'sew-er' ) and am learning to make hats and purses. I would like to learn millinary. It's very complicated.

I also love woodworking and tiling. I am going to tile our basement floor next winter. I have a wet saw and did install the back splash in our kitchen when we remodeled. I love that type of stuff, too.

So, my hobbies run the gammit but I find I'm being limited by my ability to get down on the floor with this bad hip, leg and knee (titanium).

I never was afraid to try anything once. There are lots of things I'll never do again. Like re-cover a septic tank for one!!!!
