Re: Hobbies, normal and unusual
 

Lets see...

I like my Dog
2 cats
55 Gallon of Fish
Lepard Gecko
Vivarium
Used to volineer at the Detroit Zoo (until I started coaching FIRST)

I also LOVE movies. My wife is getting me into Silent Films. Buster Keaton is funny

And I am currently working on making a hybrid electric RC car. (Series)

Re: Hobbies, normal and unusual
 

Okay, I'll bite.

When I am not consumed by FIRST, I:

1. Collect license plates ( http://www.alpca.org -- I am member #9101 )
2. Play trombone in a community band ( http://www.interboroband.org )
3. Am obsessed with roads, driving, highway numbering systems, road signs, and road trips (I am planning a cross-country drive this summer)
4. Have recently taken a motorcycle riding class, obtained my license, and am in the process of looking for a ~600-650cc starter bike.
5. Curse the learning process and subsequent wallet annihilation of being a first-time homeowner (bought my house in October).
6. Attempt to keep intact a long-distance relationship with a Canadian girl. (Hey, I got her to go to the Greater Toronto Regional and do some limited scouting...)
7. Listen to music that few people have ever heard of.
8. Write and debug software for air traffic control systems worldwide (oh, wait, they pay me for that, so it's a job, not a hobby).
9. Miss my college years dearly.
10. Write incessantly in LiveJournal.

If there's time left over from all that, I watch movies and read. ;)
