Between the day job, the Wedding Dj thing on weekends, and the hassle of building this drive-in theatre... my most treasured time is spent with my wife and my son. We have another little boy on the way ... should be here mid-September. As a hobby, I collect and restore old electric fans. My favorites include General Electric, Emerson, Westinghouse, Wizard, & Victor. Now that we have kids, I don't get to turn them on much anymore, as my son's entire hand will fit through the fan blade cages... so I just dust them and polish the brass blades every month or so. I've got about 25-30 of them. Great Fan web-site: www.fancollectors.org ------------------

Friends keep telling me I have too many other interests!Past hobbies: Flying, ham radio, volunteering with USAFA cadets, fitness swimming (going to get back into this for physical therapy), 35mm and 2-1/4" photography, soundtrack music, collecting 16mm prints, piano. Present hobbies: Collecting (and someday building) plastic airliner models (1/100 and 1/144 scales), collecting Japanese anime and movie theatrical posters, animation in general and selected anime in particular, movies on LD and DVD, studying Japanese language (MA/MS in Technical Japanese in my future?), home theater and HTPCs, callipygous women. Future hobbies: US and world travel; finding new ways to squander my retirement; a real screening room; studying piano (and oboe) again, along with arranging, scoring and conducting (music minor in my future?).

No! the boy's from the regiment were not in our group. some of them do play I believeThe only time we played army folk was when we took on 50+ army cadets. Them all with single shot pump action & 7 of us with semi-auto. They stood no chance, but still they came.

With all this talk about trains, I thought I should share my little loco.  Okay, it's not really mine  It's the B&O R.R. William Mason being restored for use in that "Wild Wild West" movie (the best part of the movie--what a waste). I documented the steam tests with still photos, video, and even some 16mm! I love photography, especially of old roadside structures like decaying drive-ins, etc., collecting movies on FILM...oh yeah, kinda into Xena.

I, too have too many hobbies. To name a few, large format video tape, playing bass guitar, rebuilding projectors, film collecting, tube audio, amateur broadcasting, i.e, low power fm, harassment of the pet cat, and cross country running.Those are all I can think of now, but there are more. kindof strange how many of us share the same hobbies.....hmmmm  Josh
