Drinking beer, dirty jokes, and watching TV. At least I'm honest! Some of the answer so far sound like Martha Stewart perfect mate things. Wussies.
Martha Stewart? More like Red Green.

Call me a "wussy" again when I have my shotgun out...[}:)]

Pull!

Besides model railroading, toy train collecting and railfanning (which take up a good deal of time) I have a lot of other interests. I collect all kinds of antiques, junk and old stuff. I also enjoy reading, listening to music and writing (mainly scripts right now, but I do have ideas for a book once I have some more time). I also like to consider myself a history buff and am especially interested in WWII. I'm also into acting and am in high school drama every year.

Besides model and real trains, I collect music CDs (the stuff that scares most people[;)]), model cars and trucks. I also think watching hockey is a hobby... I'm a HUGE San Jose Sharks fan! [^]
(Congrats to those Ducks fans... what a great year you guys had!)

Smoking, drinking Guinness, and listening to Rock music, all of which I can do whilst Railroad and Railway Modelling.

Also military history and modelling, History in general, pipe smoking, watching comedy and documentaries on TV, collecting LP's and CD's, drinking coffee (which I am an expert at), food, watching live bands, Monty Python bore, board games, crosswords, wargaming, Lord of the Rings and Star Trek nut,surfing railroad sites and forums on the internet (when Yahoo decides to work), book collecting, rummaging round junk shops, and watching Sunderland AFC.

Oh yes, keeping my wife, son and 6 cats entertained.

Well Jon I guess we all feel that we are the Lords or Ladies, if you will, of all we survey when it comes to model railroading at least. I think of the scenery that I do on the model railroads as my little realm. [:)][;)]

Anyway, to the rest of you hockey fans --GO STARS !!!!!!!!!
