Outside of golf? This takes me some thought...

Professionally, I'm in computers; working on a PhD in CompSci and employed summers. They used to be a hobby that I enjoyed immensely, and I do still get some enjoyment from it, but not as much. It makes me wonder if the Tour pros enjoy golf as much as I do Otherwise, I enjoy good alcohols. I'm a big fan of rums, wines, and scotch. There's also great enjoyment to be had by watching anything by Joss Whedon and most of Matt Groening's work.

Im big in to cars,tuning and drifting.

You're into

drifting ? How much do you spend on tires every week?? I've got a modded Impreza, but as much fun as drifting looks there is no way I could afford the rubber it eats. Aside from that, my wife and I race motorcycles (Observed Trials), I'm a boxer and fencer (epee), and a rabid wine collector. Oh and I've got a corgi, which means I spend an hour or two playing manditory fetch every day

Raising my daughter has become a pretty fun and time consuming hobby. I am into music (listening and playing), sports, movies, video games, board games, poker, cooking, beer and bourbon.

I am into just about any and everything. Problem is...I am not really good at any one thing...just sorta ok at a lot of things.

I like building computers as well. I've taken some scrapped P3 systems and set them up as temporary rigs for friends and family who were in between machines.

I'm into weight lifting a lot, as well as the occasional round of bowling. Not really good at it, though - I tend to go 9-0, 9-0, 9-0 down the stretch to a really small score. Sometimes I play poker - but I've never, ever won at it. Ever. Once in a blue moon I'll work on a computer - I'm no genius but I know my way around them, usually.

Riding my motorcycles, I have a Harley FXDWG for cruising and a Yamaha R1 for track days. Also taking my 4 1/2 yr old grandson to various events such as monster truck shows, carnivals, etc. Took him to the driving range with me today, he can't hit the ball very far but he sure tries & enjoys it a lot.

I have two sons. My oldest will be 13 (holy crap) in September and my youngest is 9 1/2. The older is in scouts and the younger plays just about every sport. Basketball ended 1 week before soccer started. Soccer ended 3 days after his first baseball practice. He also had a basketball camp this summer. From September to April I am the Den Leader for my younger son's Cub Scouts. I did 4 years with my older one as well. As you can see, that takes up the majority of my time.

I play basketball in a league from December through March and my wife and I bowl from September through April. I like to do home improvement. I finished my own basement and built my shed from scratch. I also have done several projects for other people including finishing my brothers basement and building rooms in my bosses basement.

I love to read. Everything from John Feinstein to Jimmy Buffett (yes, the singer). I finished the new Harry Potter book in 3 days. Unfortunately I was busy so it took longer than I would have liked. It was the best one yet.

I am a rabid sports fan and watch my favorite teams every chance I get.

I really enjoy playing bass guitar and guitar. I also like collecting bass guitars, if anybody has some vintage basses they want to get rid of let me know. I am a huge sports nut, UND Sioux hockey, Minnesota Wild, Twins, Vikings, TWolves, & Kansas Jayhawks basketball get plenty of my attention and time. I enjoy being outdoors and spending time at our lake cabin jet skiing and relaxing. However, all these have somewhat taken a back seat to my new son. He is somewhat dominating my life at this point. Oh yeah, I suppose I shouldn't forget spending quality time with my wife
