- I LOVE playing golf, though I can rarely afford the time or funds to play even with municipal courses. Tennis as well but can never find a partner.
- New age electronica music (enigma, liquid mind, etc...) and movie soundtracks. Listening to my music, while smoking my pipe.
- Reading, YouTubing, and watching lectures on Ancient History, Religion, Philosophy, Psychology, while smoking my pipe.
- I'm trying to get away from it but, I love MMORPG's, FPS, and RTS computer games.
- Playing with my daughter and watching her grow :cheers:

Yeah! Up yours, Kyle!

I used to hunt and fish a lot. Had a nice collection of rods and guns. The combination of been-there-done-that and a serious lack of time and money to do it the way I like to (raising kids, round 2, takes up all my time and money) led me to give it up. Done the Baja trips for big pelagic fish, been bowhunting for elk. Shoot, I spent almost every available weekend doing it for years, and plenty of the weekdays too.

Now I like to play golf, though like the fishing, I find it hard to put together the time and money. Hope to spend much of my retirement being a regular on some simple little course somewhere.

I love good single malt, especially Islay whisky.

I like cycling and plan to do a lot more of it.

My other interests are watches, nice clothes, English leather shoes, cooking. I love good literature but am pretty selective, and of the opinion that the best authors are no longer with us. I tend to re-read the same books time after time.

I love to play my guitar and mandolin. Still trying to pick up some bluegrass licks, but it's quite difficult. Also really enjoy riding my motorcycle and playing golf.

I would also like to get into traveling more. We just got back from a trip to Germany to visit my daughter, who is doing an internship to round out here college career. First time overseas and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
