Your story conjured up memories of my family vacations ‘down the Shore’ in Wildwood and Ocean City where I picked up an annual ritual of purchasing a book from Atlantic Books on the Boardwalk. I have passed the tradition of going to the bookstore for a Summer read to my children in hopes that they find a book to lose some time in, er meditate. Thank you for sharing your story!

Very interesting. We didn’t really have time for hobbies as a student. 45+hours in class room and then meals and study gave us no time for such. I guess times have changed. an occasional movie or party was about all there was time for, if you kept your sleep time to about 6 Hrs. Mar. 3, 2022, at 2:48 pm Reply
my hobby of woodworking and carving has served me well during my career as a general surgeon and ER doc. I am retired now and the hobby still is prominent in winding me down as I feel at times I get so busy with grandchildren and life in general I wonder how I had any time to work when I was in my professional years.
