How long have you been playing? Dean: For about a year now. But it's not the only thing I like to do. I also enjoy painting. It's great for relieving stress. Ann: Really? Are you pretty good at it? Dean: Not too bad. But I'm not a Picasso or Rembrandt. How about you guys? What do you like to do for hobbies? Marcus: Well, a couple of times a month I go up to Widow's Mountain with some buddies and go hang gliding. Ann: No way! You do? That sounds dangerous! Aren't you scared? Marcus: Not at all. It's fascinating. It's so beautiful up there. I feel as free as a bird. You should try it sometime. Ann: It sounds awesome, but I think I'm too much of a scaredy cat to try it. Dean: Wow! I might want to try it sometime. Do you think I could? Marcus: Sure, how about this Saturday? I'll let you know the details later. Dean: Sounds great! I can't believe I'm going to do it.
