Which group are you with?[/quote]

I study MJER under Suino sensei in Ann Arbor. Suino sensei was a direct student of the late Yamaguchi sensei.

Do you study any sword arts?

In reply, I’ve read American Gods, thought it was alright, and Good Omens was humorous, but I agree, Gaiman doesn’t have the liveliness to his writing that pratchett does.

Recommendations for Pratchett, in order of greatness: Night Watch, Thud!, Thief of Time, Going Postal. I think all of them are great, those are simply my favorites

Other than work outs:
-Shooting/buying/building guns
-cooking
-dancing
-video games
-free climbing
-bouldering
-fishing (all sorts)
-camping
-shopping
-talking to strangers

Impressive :slight_smile:

Aside from the gym (which I don’t really view as a hobby), I have two main interests. One is PC games. I used to be a PC games journalist and I’m still pretty hardcore. I spend a lot of hours in front of the computer.

The other is that I ride rollercoasters. I’ve travelled around Europe, the US, Japan and Korea just to ride. I should get my 600th coaster pretty soon. I’m a big kid, basically.

I am kinda ole fashion and somewhat experimental in the kitchen (sounds dirty) but I used to LOVE Emeril Lagasse. I also enjoy Hells Kitchen.

Did you watch master chef? That was a lot better than hell’s kitchen which is kind of getting old, lost track of what season they are even on now. For some reason when I had cable/food network Emeril was my least favorite.

I looove Creole cooking. I have seen master chef, and like it as well. I am not a huge tv watcher, but if those are on while im doing something, I will watch it.

Take out skydiving, the beach, and mustaches and you’ll have what I’m into as well.

I golf a little as well, and wrench on cars… Mostly to keep the skilz up in case of the apocalypse.

Deer and Bear Hunting, want to add boar to the list, but who has the time?

and

Dog agility - yes, my wife’s westie is an athelete too! Don’t have any pics of our westie - but here’s another.
