Ok, so what things are you passionate enough about to spend time doing?

I do a bit of woodworking - I do everything from designing my own stuff to using published plans. This summer the wife and I are going to re-do half of our garage into a killer workshop for me.

Woodworking lets me be creative (design work) AND manly (power tools) at the same time, what a combo, eh?

I've been doing a little of woodwork myself, re-building a redwood deck-the supports rotted out after being washed on a daily basis. Now we use the blower to clean it, so once the undercarriage is rebuilt, I won't worry about rotting again. Besides, being a desk jockey, it's good to seen the results of my work in tangible form.
