Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio)


It would be interesting to know what other things interest the audiophiles who are obviously so passionate about hi fi and Audiogon. I am similarly obsessively interested in cars and motorcycles. What are your interests?

Though not nearly as accomplished as Eldragon, I also took up painting (about 5 years ago). Don't do much more than a couple of canvases per year, and basically give my paintings away to friends or strangers who express an aprreciation (usually hang them in my office, and several have gone to suppliers ot business acquaintances who bug me enough). I am also a semi-serious oenophile, collecting (and drinking!) mostly French and Italian wines (california wine is too expensive these days!). Cooking is my wekeend hobby (mostly Itlaina and French cuisine), and reading is my passion since I was a little boy. As for convertibles, I've owned two Alfa Romeos in the past 6 years, and now get lots of enjoyment out of my BMW M Roadster..got to have a ragtop!
Eldragon - You are not supposed to drive an Alfa in the rain...they are just not designed for that. Why do you think the windshield wipers never work (at least on mine)? A true Alfista would have relocated to Arizona :-)
