I began a new hobby, foam coring. I needed something that was different than my usual screen staring, movie and TV watching self. Something that would challenge me, utilize my OCD and extreme attention to detail and perfectionism, something that would frustrate me in a different way, and something that would pay off in the long run. I chose foam coring for all those reasons, and of course, because I love board games and want them to be kept nice for a long time, as well as make them easier to setup and start playing.
