What I've been doing lately

Brushing up on Some Skills and Learning New Ones

Lately I've been going back through and practicing some less utilized design and motion skills as well as adding new ones to be able to offer more value to my clients. It can be both humbling and encouraging to see how much I already know and how much I have still to learn.

Music Lessons with my Son and Skiing with the Fam

I been continuing to bring my son to his weekly drum lessons and sit in while he learns more beats and fills. I've been impressed with the quickness in which he has learned to read drum sheet music and watching him put things together and keeping a beat going.

Also, after a few years of trips to ski mountains with the family and giving them lessons using my previous experience as an instructor, I am now seeing some really encouraging progress. This last trip, we all went through a glades run together and they actually seemed to enjoy it!

Learning a New Language

My daily routine has been altered to include time for learning Italian. I do feel somewhat encouraged with my slow and steady progress. However, I would issue a disclaimer to those who also know some or a lot of Spanish that while it adds a level of familiarity when learning Italian, it also adds complications. There are simultaneously a lot of similar words and words that look or sound the same, but mean something completely different. This can also sometimes be the case with English and Italian. The combination can lead to interesting results.
