Seriously, I couldn`t even handle my `fall back major`.

In my spare time I...really don`t know what I do, but time passes...

there is a ceratin 3 year period of time I spent attending Berklee, back in the mid 80`s, that I don`t quite remember. (lol) But time sure did pass! ( cough......cough )

As with others, I dont have much free time. I work at a Toyota dealership as a Sales Porter (wash new cars) for 32 hrs/wk and go to school (HS). In the very little spare time I have I buy stuff for my car, go racing (drag racing, but soon autox), go to car shows, played baseball (not sure if I will this year), and hang out with friends, but most of that only happens once in a blue moon.

Incredibly busy a work for the next 6 months so the little time I have left over is either spending it with my family or sleeping.

As for hobbies, music and HiFi, reading - industrial/organisational history and more broadly, general history including the two world wars. I would love to start a PhD in industrial history but the cost is to high for me at the moment

I`ve been a high school foreign language teacher since 1975, though I will retire in 2-4 years. I also coach high school tennis, and therefore, I still play competitively myself. And, I officiate tennis, mostly Division I college tennis, with an occasional 120-MPH serve flying by me in the pro ranks.

I also like to cook, particularly long, slow, bar-b-que type smoking (pulled pork, brisket, etc). But since a bbq fire needs attended to only every so often, I often detail while I `que!

I`ve been known to sit on the porch, and enjoy my work, both on the plate, and on the driveway!
