Your starting to show the colors of a true dumbocrat. Be careful.
I have another idea.

Write a book. Really Ronny, I mean that. We will let you have chapter one. I have stories to tell also. We all do.
If you don't write a book, volunteer.

Go ahead.
Write your books.
I think I will wait for your wives' versions to hit the press.

What ? You don't have a copy of "50 Shades of Grey" ?

Truthfully, I don't either. It is all the rage with women though. Something about sex / romance / love.
I am confused. I think it was written by a man, who actually listened to women.

Since you asked what we do......
I retired 2.5 years ago, and have had a few "adventures" as far as hobbies go.
It started out by building black powder rifle kits...... got up to 7 of them, and got bored again.... heheh.
I then moved to computers..... eh, repair one, you repaired them all lol.
At one time I had 7 iMacs and 6 laptops..... got bored again.
Decided to move to drones.... still love flying my drones, but at one time had 6 of them, and got bored, so sold 3 of them and kept the ones I truly enjoy flying....
Well drones are pretty much flying cameras, so I began doing video's and posting them for friends and family to enjoy, but..... they needed background music to make them whole, so....
I got back into creating music.
I had played keyboards in a few bands back in the late 60's and mid 70's, but just keyboards was not enough.
I THEN DISCOVERED DAW'S! (Digital Audio Workstations).
The fantastic thing about these are you do not even need to know how to play (but it does help) and you can get your musical creativity out.
Most of mine are, as my wife likes to say, "PBS background music" (she is a "disco queen" from the 70's), so no appreciation for finer music..... heheh.
I use Magix Music Maker, Air Ignite, Reaper DAW, and Garage Band from Apple (the only reason I wanted an iMac)..... I have only one iMac now just for music creation.
So, if you have music in you, and do not know yet how to play, but feel creative, try it with these!
This is a link to my SoundCloud stuff.
I create for me and only me but like to share. Not looking for fame nor fortune, I just enjoy the creation aspect.....
All of the songs in this search were "created" by me with the exception of "Quake Railshot" which I like anyways.....
If the song has a full drum beat to it, I used the "creation" software to make it. No drums, that is purely me.
Heheh, my rhythm is pathetic.... 
Other than that I would have to say do what you have never done but always wanted to do (within limits of course..... heheh).

Everyone must walk their own path. I’ve seen Ys in the road before. This one appears to be more like a spiderweb with thousands of different options. Just curious as to the direction others have taken.

Thanks williegoat, coming from you that is a huge compliment.
Yes, all midi keyboard with some sound loops.
I still have fun with it and it lets me feel creative.
My drones and my music turned out to be a terrific combination to occupy my need to create.
