Singing and movies

I race sailboats most weekends. Though, since I just moved from Texas to New Jersey, I'm off the water until this spring and I find a new boat/team to join on the East coast. I most recently competed in the J/105 North America Championships in Houston before Halloween. I completed the most recent running of the Newport to Bermuda race and will do the Chicago-Mac race for the second time next year.

Music. From Frank Sinatra to Motorhead to Sia. Huge Pink Floyd fan of course.

I used to run a photography business. Now I just shoot for myself. But I've got the good gear and know what to do with it.

I look forward to getting my house sold in Texas and get out this apartment and back in a home. I'll get my telescopes back.

I am generally a giant science nerd, especially physics, but chemistry, biology, evolution, geology, I'm in for all.

I bought a used 2007 Corvette Z06 as a project car not quite five years ago. It is already on engine number 3 in that time. Current build is an RHS 502 built as a tall deck LS7. (yes an 8.2 liter smallblock) Dual disk race clutch, carbon driveshaft, coil over suspension. This car I'm keeping forever and just keep upgrading. I do all the work myself.

I've long been involved in racing of all types. Most recently motocross and offroad. Doc says I can't do that anymore, so I don't. But I'll track the Vette occasionally in the future, but not seriously. It would get too expensive. I'll catch an HPDE when they come to one of the local road race courses.

And I like flying kites.

There are a number of other expensive hobbies I may pick back up some day when set one of these down. Skydiving, flying, skiing, radio control everything, and scuba.

I've barely started learning to surf. And I really want to hang glide some day.

Something I don't do much of, watch TV.

YARN and uhhhh more yarn... I also gather antiques and books. Too many books, too much yarn and soooooo little time.

Pre 1955 poetry books, any year cds and vinyl records. None for collectibility but for public performance on radio or stage.

I play D&D, and I have a decent coin collection mostly composed of foreign coins.

I used to magic for a living, and I still have a love for palying cards. I still collect them to this day. I don't have too many, but I cherish the ones I do have.

When young I collected all sorts of things: postcards, matchbook covers, stuffed animals, etc. Later I began collecting giraffes, ethic arts, and stamps on my passport. Today I am retired. I am not actively collecting anything. I am, however, actively making art, mostly mixed media but some 3-dimensional pieces. That is my primary passion and I am a voracious reader. It's all good.

I used to collect coin and notes, but it turned out being a quite expensive hobby (especially when you're a teenager). I still do it time to time when I found a coin I really love. For instance, I collected all the state quarter dollars when I was in the USA. Now I make jigsaw puzzles

Books. Sci-Fi mostly, but also esoterica, like occult and masonic publications.
