Happy wife, happy life.

My favorite thing to do outdoors is actually skiing (downhill, not cross country)...followed by backpacking and camping. If I ever tried SCUBA diving, I think I would be hooked.

I enjoy reading, catching the occaisional movie, shooting hoop, strumming my geetar (poorly), and hanging out with my wife.

Things that take up too much time are work and yard & home maintenance.

TT falls in both categories!

There is something else besides backpacking?

LOL!!

I enjoy the outdoors and live everyday to the fullest. Even though some days are spent at work and others are spent on the honey-do list, I try to make the most of each day!

I got scuba lessons from the in-laws for x-mas and I can't wait to try that next.

Other hobbies would be weightlifting and barefoot waterskiing. Too hot to backpack most of the time in Fla. So I like going out on the boat on the weekends.

Other then backpacking. That is a hard one that is all i really want to ever do. But I do have to work so that takes up some of my time. Drinking beer and triing to pick up women takes up some of my time. Sleeping takes some of my time. Dreaming about were im going backpacking next is what i think about all the time. so I have to say if im not backpacking im dreaming about so backpacking takes all of my time

rad, you're a real catch, man.

In fact, I think possibly you are "The Answer."

(The question, by the way, was "Why are women so cold-hearted?")
