When I'm not working, I spend most of my free time with my family. Life's too short to not enjoy spending as much time as possible with the family.

Alas, I'm not exactly 'young' anymore (pushing 38...) so my hard-drinkin', ass-kickin', 'party all night/sleep all day' days are pretty much behind me. Usually it's just dinner, play with the kids a bit, watch the game (GO RED SOX!!!), play a little 'hide-the sausage' then hit the hay.

...that said...

I'm still a normal, red-blooded male, so....a couple of times a month, a few pints and a good game of poker serve as a nice outlet. The occasional night out at the "titty-bar" never hurts either.

...Now on a more personal note...

My wife and I have been vegan (that's a strict vegetarian) since 1996 and both our children have been vegan since birth. When we started, we were more militant about it, now it's just more of a lifestyle, more like a belief system if you will. Basically, we try to live our lives with as little impact on the environment as possible. This included causing minimal suffering any way we can, hence our veganism. I don't judge anybody based on religion, race, social stature, or even
"dietary choices". Please feel free to ask/comment/challenge me about our lifestyle ... all I ask is that you don't judge me without attempting to understand my ways.

"Tread lightly, leave little trace"
....words I live by.
