Reading, music, gadgets, history, board games, playing with my sons, baseball, boxing, used CD stores, good food, trying unusual food, writing, science fiction. I currently am consumed by a search to find a copy of every song I played in my college radio days on WRIU and have a digital copy on my ipod. So I am engaging in a lot of record collecting!
