What other obsessions do you have?

It's obvious that many of the people here have gone off the deep end (yes I include myself) with equipment and music purchases.

The question is what other obsessions do you have, or what else are you really into?

I was getting carried away with Martial Arts before an injury sidelined me, I would rather ride my motorcycle than drive, and I spend way too much time on the computer (most of it on AudiogoN). If I had the money I would have a bigger and better collection of wine. Other than that I'm perfectly sane! NO really!!!

My family and my religion are much more an influence in my life and they dominate my time. This hobby does give me a time alone occasionally to lose myself and relax. When permitted I prefer to listen to music rather than watch TV. When I go on walks or exercize I bring music. Driving alone to work is a great time to turn it up and enjoy. I guess we are alike in that when ever possible and not too intrusive on the big picture we all enjoy this hobby.

Xnyne I have enjoyed several different Australian Shiraz's. My brother brought them to my attention a number of years ago. He lives is Sydney. Just a hop, skip and a jump from you! ; ^) That was probably before they got such a good name for themselves and began exporting all over the world.

How would one go about procurring some of this first vintage??? As you can see from these responses you could build a strong following just from AudiogoN!

Photography - I'm a devotee of Leica rangefinders. Single malt whiskies - especially older Islays. Good red wines - the girlfriend and I are about to spend a week in Santiago, Chile tasting Cabs. Mircrobrewed beers - hmm, three out of four obsessions so far are alcoholic...

Then there's my main passion - which is, of course, passion itself. The girlfriend and I won't be spending all our time in Chile touring wineries...
