For me, I have a couple of little ones that keep me busy when I am not working or doing photography, which is a second job, but also a hell of a lot of fun. I dabble in all kinds of aviation stuff, hanging around museums and airports. Some days, I just grab the camera and wander to find something interesting to take pictures of.

Once in a while, I pick up the guitar and play again. I also like to BBQ and tinker around with home improvement projects.

Outside of my work, I'm an executive board member for the NJ Animal Control Assoc. so I go to alot of meetings and help spread the word and work on new animal laws for NJ.

I'm also a shop steward with my local Union and on the Political Action Commitee and spend some time with that - I'm the fly in the ointment there, so to speak!

I also have dreams of getting published one day -have written some horror stories and currently working on a day-by-day of the Luftwaffe but that is so challenging its just become something to do after 6 years.

And then there are my kids that I try to educate and expand their little minds by doing things and going places.

And I read alot.

I like messing around on the pc, riding my new motorcycle, being with some friends, or hanging out at our ranch.

My full time job takes up most of my normal day. After work I have my Japanese maples, trying to learn to graft the cultivars, the greenhouse where I kinda mess with cacti, geraniums, ivy geranuims, green and purple
shamrocks, and other small plants. I build balsa/tissue models and I like to
read about WW-II. And, of course, the friends I have made here......

Photography and target shooting are my main pastimes and birdwatching with my wife. Or to be more precise, I carry the gear and consider it a walk in the country, while she does the birdwatching.
