Keeping with the playful and game-based nature of Goosechase, I have a fun question for folks in the Lounge! 🛋 In video games you’ve got your main quests that actively progress the story, but also side-quests that can enrich your experience (even if they don’t have any direct bearing on the main quests).

What side-quest(s) are you currently completing in your real life? 🎒

Personally, I have to say my side quests this summer have mainly been playing pickleball and harvesting things from my garden (pumpkins and sunflowers are still around!) 🌻

As the weather gets cooler, I am considering an indoor side quest later in the fall: swing dancing lessons! 💃

Great question @kvalkova! My side-quests tend to follow the interests of my two-year-old daughter Clara: gymnastics 🤸‍♂️ and swimming 🏊‍♂️ lessons. My somersault is getting pretty good!

Interested to hear what kinds of side quests @travisblunden @brubakers @Alexandra_g @krmarsh @Carrie Willis @JRErickson @MBFlatau @Erin @Mia @Lucas Mbiwe @Attila @Katie have been doing IRL!

Fun question! My side quest this summer was a bit of gardening (still very much on a quest for success there 😂) and finally getting into a healthy and sustainable workout routine 💪. As the months get colder, I’m excited to get back into my favourite side quest = snowboarding 🏂

Great question, and love the terminology of a side quest! My side quest these days is running. I’ve completed a few half marathons the last couple years, but never the full. And I think next year I’m going to go for the full thing, but plenty of training to do to get there!

I’ve yet to try pickleball, but this may be my sign to start. 🥒

I picked up a couple of side-quests this summer that have been super fun: pottery and pilates! Both get me moving and out of my head. Highly recommend them for your next indoor side-quest, @kvalkova :)

🪿 Honky Monday! (Taking the goose emoji for a spin on iOS)

These are all such great side quests: a very active gaggle around here! 😎

Here is an update on my pumpkin quest: the pumpkins got harvested and now adorn my front step. One got a bit nibbled and I suspect a neighbourhood squirrel 🐿️

 

Well, my main quest (question everything) takes up most of my time but i do get side "tracked" daily. So in response to that i have become friends with (trying too) a few local and out of town gang members that have recently been drawn or shall i dare to say particle accelerated towards me kinda like an unexpected head butt so that I can get a even deeper/higher understanding of how so many diverse communities are able to cohabitat together and the purpose each one ultimately is serving. I'm also dabbling a little into some secret societies that ive become aware of recently, making introductions mainly. #honorthyneighbor
