How hobbies make you better at everything

It’s a Solo Slinger episode, and this week I’m talking about refiling your bucket, sharpening your axe and/or saw, and basically just improving your mental health and your creative work by finding hobbies and other experiences. We’e in the business of observing, contemplating, and expressing, so we could use some interesting things to observe.

Also in this episode I talk about metal detectors and (oh so briefly and delicately) the current drama of politics. I promise, it’s painless.
