Hobbies
I enjoy the nightlife as much as the next guy in his early twenties. Now I'm not in my early twenties anymore, but I'm fine with acting like I am. My girlfriend Jacquie is on board with this strategy. So when our respective graduate/professional programs afford us some time to actually spend together we're not opposed to "doin it up real big."
Journalism is another hobby of mine. Many would argue that journalism constitutes my profession, not a hobby, but it really does feel like a hobby sometimes. I've found that the key to blurring the line between job and hobby is loving what you do. I've always been a big sports fan, and I'm lucky enough to cover sports for a living. The quality of the journalism itself escelates when you're interested in the subject matter. Last year I won a Florida Associated Press award for radio feature on the mythic status that Gator quarterback Tim Tebow has attained in Gainesville.
I also enjoy cooking. My mom is a great cook so I grew up eating home-cooked meals that met a very high standard. I'm not half the cook that she is, but I enjoy the improvisational opportunities that cooking allows for. I didn't cook as much when I was single, but having a partner in the kitchen to cook with (and for) makes the process more rewarding.
