I am these days a recreational cyclist. I used to race and tour extensively. Now I just ride to keep from getting really fat. I love travel and learning world history. When I have the time, I study German.

I'm with you Johnnyb. Where else can you and your friends practice, drink beer, and get paid a nominal fee. I love being in a band!

Besides Ricks?! Tennis, automobiles, Pinot Noir, drawing, mountain biking, and kids. Not necessarily in that order.....

Ah ha. Lets all get drunk and make a rock 'n' roll song! Right? Just joking guys. Either way it could be worse. You could be like some of my friends who wont play unless they are high or something. That bugs me. They need 2 things to write a song, weed and distortion. Ehh... Guess thats why I dont work with those guys haha. As well as they dont get much done.

My wife and I have a budding antiques business, which takes up a LOT of our free time....

I collect and trade/sell vintage Schwinn Stingrays, slot cars, Hot Wheels....and other interesting stuff from the 60s/70s...

Hey Ted, I am just starting to get back into recreational cycling.....back in the late 80s/early 90s, I rode my 66cm Cannondale many, many miles...culminating in doing sub-5hr centuries(back when I weighed 210

)

Besides my band that sucks up much of my time I enjoy my motorcycle (riding and maintenance/performance goodies) and spend lots of time with my three dogs and as much as I can with my wife (she gets her MBA in a few weeks plus has a full time job as a chemical engineer/marketing genius....so she has been pretty busy). I'm basically a home-body and am usually juggling a few home improvement projects......I do pretty much everything myself that doesn't include heights. Otherwise I am glued to the History Channel or watching F1 and touring/GT/motorcycle races. (I've been to Indy for the F1 races for the past few years but after this years' fiasco I'll never waste a weekend there again). I've let my physical condition slide a bit over the last year so I've finally gotten back into a workout routine lately that will also fill up some of my day.....joy. That pretty much sums it up....

Current Hobbies/Obsessions: MUSIC!!!! Also, trying to read as many "great books" as possible (I got through Faulkner, Joyce, and Woolf, so I figured I can do them all), writing short fiction/drama, playing Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, Sonic the Hedgehog (basically my entire childhood), BattleTech (the original tabletop game, not the ****** recent WizKids version . . .), and, uh . . . webcomics. Lots of them. Oh, and cars. I just like to know all the different kinds and ogle the nice ones.

Former Hobbies/Obsessions: Magic the Gathering (I've still got all my cards if anyone fancies a game . . . hehehe), Warhammer 40K (before they changed the rules and basically gutted the game to "simplify" it so they could sell more), Dungeons & Dragons, lots of videogames (Half-Life, Myst, Starcraft, Wing Commander, TIE Fighter/X-wing, Descent/Freespace, Monkey Island, Metal Gear Solid, Soul Calibur, etc.), and . . . unfortunately, I used to play Pokemon (in sixth grade) . . . if you know anyone who wants vintage Pokemon cards in near mint condition, complete with binder and deck protectors, I've got several hundred for sale . . .

Spare time means soccer for me (I am a bass player/song writer in a band and a lawyer) so I play goalkeeper for the Tel-Aviv Bar lawyers soccer team.
