Gardening (so very good for the soul), DIY (so very good for the relationship ), computer gaming (not so good for the blood pressure sometimes), reading (great for the mind and the spirit).

reading - been getting back into a lot of sword-swinging fantasy after a many-year hiatus. Also been researching some possible new hobbies like making bows and arrows...

scuba diving, altho that's gonna be on hold for a while since my wife and diving partner had a mishap involving her finger and a table saw. gonna be a while before it's healed up enough to get into the water again.

metal-working, i've got a bit of a hobby/business making silver pendants and rebuilding sword hilts and scabbards.

Reading!

I like messing with the computers -- right now I am trying to learn about Java -- the language from Sun.

I also enjoy drinking coffee at the coffee houses -- and seeing all of the young haX0r kidz in there with their tattoos and their peircings.

The weight lifting gym -- this is much fun! I go to a real rowdy gym, you don't have to be quiet or anything, just grab some weights and have at it! Old school style!!!

Oh, and I also like long walks in the park at sunset, hahahahahahaha!!!

 

[Kacey]

Reading, playing with my dog, needlework, bicycling (trying to get back into it, anyway).

 

[tshadowchaser]

reading, sleeping, spending time with my wife and cats

trying to keep the skunks and racoon from eating all of the garden

 

[thardey]

Right now I'm riding horses and motorcycles. Reading James Bond books, and building swords.

In the recent past I've done ballroom dancing, scuba diving, and that sort of stuff.

 

[Drac]

Almost exactly what tshadowchaser does sans the skunk and racoon problems...

 

[girlbug2]

When I'm not working, I like to unwind by reading, writing, sewing, needlework and puttering around in my garden with the cats as "helpers".

Other than that my life is devoted to the family, including the furry ones.

Sounds pretty idyllic, Girlbug. Oddly, given my penchant for computers and internet fora, I am at my most peaceful when I'm on my own in the middle of a wood somewhere. If all I can hear is wind in the trees and birdsong I'm a happy and relaxed man .

 

[morph4me]

Ballroom dancing, walking and MT

 

[Xue Sheng]

What is this "not doing martial arts" you speak of

 

[girlbug2]

Sukerin,

It's idyllic compared to training perhaps.

But then my training schedule is about 70% of my social life, because as a confirmed introvert, that is about as much extraversion as I can comfortably handle.

It sounds as if you live near a lovely wilderness. If I could, I would too

 

[ArmorOfGod]

Playing with my twin boys (they will be 7 next month), reading, playing on the computer (at martial arts sites, DC comics sites, and Japanese Sentai <Power Ranger> sites).
Also, on occasion, I pick a random subject and learn about it. Usually it is an animal or insect, but this time I am working on learning knots.

Well, I've been known to drive miles to ride my mountain bike around in the woods (though not often enough of late ), read voratiously, spend too much time on the internet, and I do woodworking.

i go to the gym, read, and write. I am currently perfecting my first novel in a series so i can get it published. I finished the sequel of it and stopped writing the third to get the first novel published and i finished a poetry book.

I think you would like my books FC because they are sword-swinging fantasies.:duel:
