Im off to a gig tonight but upon my return I will comment. I thought it would be interesting to hear about peoples hobbies other then playing keyboards, taking into consideration everyoone is all over the world?

When I get the time I enjoy drawing.. I've been an artist for years. Even worked as a Graphic Designer for a local print shop before they went out of business.. Not really a huge call for that around here anymore... I used to design business cards, logos, and a whole bunch of other stuff.. I can run a dark room too... Took a trade course in Graphic Design several years back.. If I was back up on Lake Erie I'd be fishing my butt off every chance I got..

I used to fish, hunt, chase younger women, ride horses, bust bronc's, wrestle steers and drink lots of beer. Now I just play go fishing or work in the garden. Ain't it amazing how times slips away--damn, that song's still in my head.

Cheers,

Interesting to hear your art background. I had a graphic production house for about 12 years. We weren't printers, but did all the camera ready stuff (actual mechanicals until computers came on the scene). I sold just in time. Most all my big clients computerized and went inhouse with PageMaker, Quark, Photoshop and the like. The company is still running...but with only 3 people vs the 13 I had.

I don't like the word "hobby". So I will just tell you about other things I like to do besides my teaching/academic work. Reading and playing/listening music come first. Then I like bicycling, hiking, photography, traveling (when possible), meeting people from other countries (I don't loose the opportunity of a good conversation with a foreigner). All simple pleasures...

btweengigs,
That's cool we have the art background in common.. Yeah everything did go digital. When I was doing it there were still quite a few places that used the old darkrooms.. I actually liked that process... It was fun to shoot a negative, make the plate, and move on to the press. I loved doing multicolor documents on the presses because I had a great time getting all the registration marks lined up to get the copy just right. It was such a fun line of work... I designed a lot of local business cards, did rest. menues, and a whole bunch of other stuff "I even saw the other day that one of the local chinese rest. still use the menu I designed... " I'd love to still do this line of work, but nothing around here anymore...
