Other than family and friends, supporting the Red Wings is one of my favourite things to do. 

I also like reading history, but this obsession has waned in recent years after selling off most of my books. 

Following bull fighting has waned as well, but I still hope to attend the odd event here and there.   

I really enjoy seeking out good, affordable wines, but I don't do many buying trips to France anymore. 

Jeepers, maybe its time to get passionate about something!

Small school Texas High School football. I just love the drama and commitment the small town folks make to their youth. My kids go to a high school with an enrollment of 400. On friday nights between the varsity kids kids on the field, the freshman and JV teams that line the sidelines, the band, cheerleaders, mascots, drill teams, flag team...etc...we have almost 300 kids involved and about 3,000 in the stands. And most of the other teams do the same. Pretty cool atmosphere and pure sports as almost none of those kids will play ball after high school. Want to see raw emotion, go down on the field after the seniors play their last game.   

My vegetable garden. I'll be working on it this afternoon.

My chickens...nothing like an omelet with farm fresh eggs and fresh onion and tomato right out of the ground.

Fishing - grew up a bass fisherman, but I think I like redfishing better. And fresh red fish on the grill is out of this world good.

Great work for sure!  Congratulations
I like your experimentation with a different style
It seems you should explore more

Working from a home office is great for spending time with the family (while still working a ton of hours), going to almost all daughter functions and walking them home from school occasionally.  2 years ago in a very slow and depressing market with most of my time at my desk eating Shipley donuts, I joined an MMA (mixed martial arts) gym - I wrestled for many years in my past.

I now train Brazillian Jiu Jitsu 6-7 days a week, 1-2 hours a day - sometimes with world champions and minor league UFC fighters.
It is a fascinating, highly complex martial artform.
I was not expecting to enjoy it as much as I have.
I am much fitter and have gotten very good.
It is fun choking out bigger, stronger grown men on a daily basis.

Mahaffey doesn't kick sand on me anymore either.

Cheers

Too late Bruce, Nuzzo already killed this thread with his engineering speak, martial arts, brain dump.

Cary- Nice stuff!

Collecting (and listening to) Grateful Dead music

Dave - glad to see other Dead fans on the board. I was a taper and saw Jerry 150 times between 1981 and 1992. I've slowly been archiving all of my old analog masters onto a hard drive for easier access. I had a set of Nakamichi CM-100 with the cp-4 shotguns running into either a Sony D5-M or JVC PCM-D5. A lot of great nights for sure. Used to tour with a guy running an old Sony PCM-F1 digital processor onto a potable betamax machine. That set-up lined into some Schoepp's mics could sing at the right venue.

These days I am still pretty involved with listening to and collecting music with my tastes running the gamut - I truly believe that every genre has both great stuff and a lot of mediocrity. The trick is finding the stuff worth listening to.

Outside of work, golf and my two kids (4 and 8 years old) and being a news junkie and seeing some good shows here and there does not leave much time for too much else. (Saw acoustic Hot Tuna last week and have Psychic TV at the end of the month in Philly!)

Faulkner looks good in his Dead hat on the golf course. I like the allegiance to his boys.

Jim,

5/9/78- Syracuse War Memorial.  1st show. Werewolves Encore with Masks.
1/21/79  Masonic Temple Detroit.  Keith, No Donna (nuff said)
6/28/83- Poplar Creek.  Looks like rain with lightning all around us.
12/18/84  UIC Pavillion Jerry Garcia Band/ Frank Zappa
9/10/91- MSG with Branford Marsalis in rare form

amongst many others....

[Bill Seitz]

Live Music - I go to roughly 40-50 concerts per year, mostly at venues holding fewer than 500 people, occasionally with GCAers;
College Basketball and Football - though this was an especially bad year to be a UCLA and Illinois fan;
NHL Hockey - my Kings, as they have been for the last forty years or so, are pitiful, but I still watch every game;
Major League Baseball - Looking forward to Albert Pujols' 10 best years in Anaheim;
And craft beer.  I tend to stockpile highly regarded, very ageable beer the way many people do with wine, and probably have about $1,000 worth of good beer (based on its ebay value) in my closet. 

[Ian Andrew]

I still play a lot of hockey: 2 afternoons of pick-up + 2 evening league every week
I still play each year in the golf superintendents tournament

I used to have all sorts of "other" passionate interests. All that remains is three of the most beautiful grandchildren who have ever existed and cannabis.

This may be one of my favorite threads.

I love fly fishing, Michigan State football and basketball, U.S. History, Detroit Tigers/Lions/ Red Wings, Traveling with fellow supers, All apple products, Old friends, Girls, but I'm mostly obsessed with Ben Hogan and every aspect of golfing history. I literally grew up on a golf course, when other kids were going to day care, I was on the back of tractor pulling gang mowers. I use to cut cups and do course setup before I went to school in the morning. So for years all I knew was golf until football or basketball season started.

The only thing that rivals my golfing knowledge is Michigan State athletics. I never miss a game and I can probably name you every recruit in the last 15 years. I was obsessed with all things sports in high school but now that I'm getting older I'm starting to enjoy more "mature" things. A nice capital grill or ruth's chris filet mignon before going to the movies with my girlfriend.

I still make her watch golf

[Jim Sherma]

Jud - some of the greats that I was lucky to be at:

11/1/85 Richmond - they made a Dick's Picks out of it - my first show taping with my own equipment
12/15/86 Oakland - return show after Jerry's coma
6/29/86 Alpine - really liked the Shakedown-Estimated-Eyes - really the whole 6/28-6/30 Alpine-Alpine-Cincy run was strong
Jerry on Broadway - saw one show at the Lunt-Fontanne theater off of Times Square during the run
New Year's '87 - not the greatest run but catching a New Year's run was special
4/30 and 5/1/88 Frost - Afternoon shows in the California sun - few things could come close
3/24/86 Philly Spectrum - 2nd set was short but one of the greats
4 shows on the Jerry tour in '89 with MSG-Albany-Hartford in three successive nights - always wished there were more east coast JGB

So long ago but still meaningful to me. Still love live music in bars and clubs - The Dirtbombs are as good as it gets these days. I doubt anything will get as good as Jerry on the "right" night could however. These days it's work, family, golf and the New York Rangers.

[Dave Falkner]

Jim and Jud nice to see some folks that appreciate good music on here
 Jim that sound like a serious rig

i am a big audiance tape fan so would love to hear some of your stuff

Music!  I like almost any music, but the Grateful Dead are at the top of my list by far.
