Can you list 1 favorite activity for every year you are old?
There is an old theory that says a person should be able to name at least 1 activity for every year they are old (42 years old = at least 42 activities). It sounds easier than it is. What's your favorite (excluding HP of course since obviously that is #1 for most).

Thank you for the challenge, it took some time to re-live my past to find things I like most.Congrats! I seem to be stumbling these days but then I'm "a bit" older. So far I'm keeping up but whoosh, not sure if I'll be able to be = 10 years from now!
I've "stolen" a couple from you...I forgot about the bonfires but I do love them. I also love the idea of sitting by a waterfall on a warm day! I love the memory of my own hiking days and those beautiful waterfalls on warm days with the sun sparkling. Thank you both for your additions!- 85

No problem. Like I said- it was a challenge.
Personally, I've made fires, such a campfires, but never did a bonfire. Wouldn't mind orchestrating one, sounds like fun.
How ever, you did say, favorite activity I learned. So, I never actually learned 'how to build a bonfire?".
But, it was a nice journey to live over in my mind. It was a cool trip, per se.

Hey ralwus,
Do you have more hubs than your age? Or the other way around.
If you are older than your 66 hubs, then yeah, I could see you having a problem doing it. The mind gets run down as you get older.( just kidding) - 94

Ohhhh GREAT IDEA, an "HP Birthday" hub category. Publish a work based on something off your favorite activity list (but the list would have to be published at the end of each work) I'm not sure my memory is that long - maybe HP can send us a reminder???

But i do think that this would be a good idea for a hub...we can first do a hub on the list and then each year add a new activity, and then like you said in ohter hubs, write on one of those activities.
I think I'm going to have to try engraving art - sounds like a great idea for next year's new activity! Thanks for the idea...
