Apart from scale modeling and casting and painting toy soldiers, I'm a home brewer, though it's been a while. I like to cook, too, because there are things I want to eat that no one else is interested in making (nothing exotic; basically German dishes and good, ol' peasant foods). I ride bike for sport, since I'm too old and slow to play softball anymore. And I belong to a small community theater, where most of my time is spent working with stage lighting. I design light plots, install the lights, and run them. I've also appeared on stage, though I can take it or leave it, and I served on the board for 10 years, including a term as president. Let's see, what else? I'm a baseball fan--go, Phils!--read a lot, like animation, from classic Warner Bros. to anime to "The Venture Brothers", "Robot Chicken", "Samurai Jack", "Megas XLR".
I like to hike, too, but it's been a long time since I was able to get out anywhere around here to do that (though the Applachian Trail runs not too far from me, to the north).
