Obviously, music is the biggest passion, both playing and listening ... and listening to a wide variety ... from country (some) to classical, and most types in between ... love Jazz, but, no offense to anyone, NO rap or hip-hop, please ...

I used to LOVE running ... ran the NY Marathon 3 times ... I could eat and drink anything and everything when I was running 60 miles a week ... then injuries came and the running stopped, but not the eating and drinking ... that didn't work out too well ... a lot heavier now ...

I played competitive softball until about 7 years ago ...

I enjoy gardening, and have a very small fish pond ...

We spend a good amount of time with the grandkids (and kids ) ... in fact the oldest grand daughter (8 yrs) has a dance recital tonight ...

I enjoy rooting for the NY Yankees and NY Giants (football), and am currently rooting for Italia in the WC ...

I enjoy 'dabbling' in art and think I will join my wife in art class when I retire ...

We have also started studying the Italian language ...

busy, but GOOD busy ...
