    Me too. I'm a big time shutter bug.

    I don't consider music a hobby for me. It takes up WAY too much time and money to be just a hobby.

    Other than that, I don't have much time for anything else.

    I mentor kids in high risk family situations, help run a camp for children with special needs and teach pre-school Sunday School.

    Are they hobbies? I don't know,but they are things I do for free that I couldn't give up and they take up alot of my non-work time.

    My hobby until recently was making beer. I have made many variety. Favorites are mostly the Porters, Stouts, and specialty beers.

    I guess now I just love following the local sports teams.

    Being a good provider, good husband, and good father eat up almost all of my time. Here are a few interests that I'm able to put bits of time into:

    videography, playing piano, singing, cooking, golf.

    There's a strong possibility that I will be singing the national anthem at the July 25th Astros game.

    I have MANY interests that I'd like to pursue, but have no time:
    languages (Spanish, German, French & Japanese), woodworking, painting, sculpting, guitar, composing, traveling, camping, playing sports (basketball, tennis, golf), shooting pool, swimming, mountain biking, surfing, ballroom dancing...

    Sometimes I get bummed out 'cause I know that in my lifetime I will probably not get to pursue most of them.

    Isn't that the truth.

    I don't know about the other shows that rockets-#1 listed, but Nip/Tuck is pretty cool. It has a real dark edge to it. You should check it out. You can't just watch one episode either, you will be lost for a while.

    By the way... Earlier, when I listed surfing as one of the things I wish I could pursue, I meant surfing on the ocean, not web surfing.

    New one of mine. I was about to go this weekend by myself after the drama earlier in the week with the girl (which I don't think you have any idea about, btw).

    Looking forward to next weekend! Screw Albany!! :D
