I am getting this blender start eh. I like other stuff other than transit of course, music, movies and news. What be yours?
Let's see in order:
1) Women
2) Working out at the gym, almost everyday! AKA the "Gym goin mug"
3) Transit, all aspects including history to future and photography (why I'm in part of putting this website together)
4) Traveling (need more vacation time and money though)
5) Biking trails (if it was'nt hot @$$ balls, I would do it more often)
I can think of more but those are my top 5....
Hmmm. Let's see: I'm a big car enthusiast, jet airliners, sports - particularly the NFL (New York Football Giants fan in da house), travelling (and we do plenty of it), looking at the babes (Summer is great), reading and just being out and about.
I'm not a huge music fan, but I enjoy my oldies R&B, old skool rap etc.
I'm intersted in getting more into photography. I'm planning to take a course and buy and D-SLR camera (hopefully sooner than later).
This may sound corny and be totally against the rules of the playa playa handbook, but I really enjoy spending time with the wife.
That's what comes to mind.
--Going to baseball and hockey games (Go O's, Go Caps!)
--The beach (Ocean City for the win)
--Un-pretentious dive bars
--Photography of nature, urban scenes, and museum art
--Volunteering with Hope and a Home (http://www.hopeandahome.org/ (http://www.hopeandahome.org/)). Hopefully volunteering soon with Travelers Aid.
--Reading the Wonkette blog, lol.

- Baseball
- Reading
- Watching my daughter's softball games in the spring
- Watching my son's marching band shows in the fall
- Watching our favorite TV shows or a DVD with the wife (current favorite shows are Mad Men, The Closer and Heroes)
- Goofball comedy shows that my kids love but my wife doesn't (Monty Python, MXC, Looney Tunes cartoons)
- Summer cookouts in the back yard
I used to swim at the local pool, but this has gotten squeezed out as our schedules have gotten busier.
Well I do a lot of other things. Transit is just a side hobby. Well here is my list:
-Football (Yes, I'm a Tennessee Titan fan)

-And of course, the ladies
-Girls
-Transit
-College Football
-Music
-My FORD - Fix Or Repair Daily (yes...it's true)
-Biking

Hmm
- Music is my other passion in life. It's been put aside for now but certainly not forgotten!
- Audio recording has been fun, although it's been mainly limited to buses/trains
- Driving is great, driving fast is even better!
- I used to write fiction and a little bit of poetry (6th place at my schools poetry slam!)
- Love to travel to different places
- Photography - I primarily photograph transit, but i love just photographing the world around me!

1. Collecting transportation artifacts (ship models, truck models, car models, bus models, train models, related transportation art).
2. Classical music (particularly baroque and renaissance periods)
3. Civil and human rights issues.
4. High performance cars: favorite car that I will never have is a Lamborghini Quattroporte.
5. Classic Car collecting (at this point I have one car in my collecction - 1996 Ford Taurus SHO [LOL]).
6. Travelling
7. Fine dining.
8. Working out at the gym.
9. Reading (everything: fiction, non-fiction, history, science fiction, philosophy)
10. Working on the Board of Directors at my condominium.
11. Last but not least of course is dctransit.info.
Lately it's been
1) Work
2) Work
3) Girlfriend
4) Work
5) Work
6) Sleep and/or Work
7) DCATZ
8) Studying to be a teacher
9) Model Railroading - I'll definitely have to check the Gaithersburg show out, thanks Mike for the heads up; there's also an October show @ Timonium
I feel like I'm leaving something out...oh well.
10) Oh yea...love piano -- jazz, classical, whatever. Maybe one day I'll learn how to actually play one, but for now I'm building my collection of piano-based music of all genres.
For me my hobby over the past few years is being a dad. Lots of time devoted to those boys. It's pushed my transit hobby to the side somewhat, but as much as I love it, I work with it all day so the thought of riding around on buses all day just for fun during my off time doesn't appeal to me as much as it did. I love taking my oldest, Joey on a bus ride here and there because he likes riding them and maybe once he gets older I'll get back to it and show him around a bit more.
I want to dabble in photography more, but again, don't have the time. I like watching sports, particularly basebally and basketball. I've grown bored with the NFL and have taken to college football more and more.
I like to travel and now that we're out in the west it will be nice to drive to different areas.
