What to do for fun?

I am admittedly passionate and slightly obsessive about work-related projects. I actually enjoy work, and have fun solving real problems by either inventing or discovering  pieces of the puzzle.  I don't  enjoy games as such, but rather make a game of solving real-world technical problems. 

With this said, I also appreciate the wisdom that someday you will be on your deathbed, and look back at your life.  You are not likely to say to yourself, "I  wish I could have spent more time at the office."

Each day is a gift and should be expended wisely.  Finding the appropriate balance of work and play is a daily challenge -- at least for me.

 "Play music because you love it, and get a real job so you can eat."

Growing up, I spent many entertaining nights and weekends playing music in various garages and basements.  This history continued when I returned from a tour in Vietnam, and was approached by an old friend Dave Wilmer, who said, "How'd you like to join a trio?"  This opportunity initiated my source of revenue through my college days, and transfused in me a need to express myself musically.  This need lives on to this day: See some photos.
