Soaping - I make my own soap, for fun, not because I'm a hillbilly.:lol:
Needleworking/Quilting - I do cross-stitch and I am getting ready to learn needlepoint, which could get ugly since I'm going to teach myself and will be starting on a kit that is at least intermediate, not beginner.
Labrador Retriever'ing - my 3 year old lab named Pearl keeps me sane in an insane world. Training, playing and abundant snuggling.
Getting to know New Orleans
Writing: poetry mostly; a memoir in the works (50k words rough so far); one short story done, submitted
Member of a writing group and a poetry reading group
Genealogy from time to time
Visiting used book shops, library sales, picking up whatever seems interesting

I collect tea pots, at first just the iron ones, now whenever we visit a second hand store, or consignment store, I can usually find a great older china tea pot.
Trying to keep our masses of books straight, listing etc.
Writing poetry.
Reading real estate listings in different cities.
Organizing 5 generations of "stuff". [trying to get rid of as much as possible!]
I'm also a movie freak. My favorite movie is Sin City. I watch Japanese animation from time-to-time;stuff like Black Lagoon,Hellsing,Gantz etc. I sometimes troll other boards when I'm bored,but that's just me.
In my spare time i keep myself busy printing off crosswords from the times website and completing them. i also enjoy writing articles with my opinions on currant affairs to the local newspaper, and then after a week, writing a response under a different name. I used to play alot of snooker, but one day while i was reacher over the table for a hard shot, i pulled my hamstring and have not picket up a snooker que since. I am also a freemason.
