Thread: What Are Your Hobbies or Interests?

Right now I spend my free time (what little I got anyways):

1. Playing board games. (Bonaparte at Marengo, Combat Commander: Europe, and Twilight Struggle are my recent favorites if anyone is interested.)
2. Tracking my 2 tv shows--Heroes and Lost. I love Heroes, and I just want to see how Lost resolves itself.
3. Movies. The wife and I hit ~2 movies or so a month. Next week is 300 showing in IMAX. I cant wait!
4. Home repairs. I figure as much time as I am spending doing it, I might as well call it a hobby.

Speaking of TV shows, I can't enough of:

24

Prison Break

I was never a 24 guy. I tried to watch the first season, but had trouble swallowing the pill when his daughter got kidnapped twice in the same day. (if I remember right.)

I got into Prison Break for the first half of the first season, but it lost me after they actually broke out. Is there a reason to call it Prison Break anymore?

Rod, I used to collect baseball cards, but sold all but about 20 of my oldest, from the late 50's early 60's. I'm looking to sell those, but no one like the old cards anymore.

They are as follows, in no particular order:

- Theology / Bible Study

- Reading, I do LOTSA reading!

- Coins, Baseball Cards (Currently inactive and in "the attic")

- Camping, outdoors- LOVE the mountains!

God Bless

Biking. Particularly proud of completing the Triple Bypass which is a one day 120 mile bike ride with over 10,000 ft of climbing. http://teamevergreen.org/triple_bypass.htm

Trying to get into running, but I'm not sure my body can take the beating. I did complete my first 10km run last fall.

Raising my daughter.

Trying to do what's right and proper.

Drywalling........yeah, I got about 40 sheets left to hang on my current home project. I feel about it the same way you do. But, I have a little bit of plumbing and electric to finish up first.

However, there is a cool part of this project -I have been working on a home network. I've installed remodel box in all the main rooms and bedrooms and I am running two cat 5e lines to a "mechancial room" (really an area) in the basement and an RG6 line culminating in the attic. The idea is to have Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) hard line and seperate network hardline in each room. I am setting the house up for satellite, but I suspect that in the future cable modems and u-tube type website will replace all the cable and satellite providers (decade or more away). This home network has really had a steep learning curve. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Some of my hobbies have gone by the wayside since TSP Talk started, but:

- I used to be an avid poker player. Now just whenever I can get away.
- I collect art (my wife and I own an art and antiques gallery).
- I coach my 12 y/o son's baseball team. He played in 4 different leagues last year so that is time consuming.
- I have season tickets to our local college basketball team's games. They won their conference so they get to host their conference tournament this week. Go Weber! (Weber State).
