I'm sure there's more to our lives than just Mellotrons. So, what else do you do?

I'm an IT guy with The Hartford, but I'm retiring at the end of this year. I'm primarily a bass guitarist, but I fool around on guitar, keys and modular synth. Other hobbies/skills are model and high power rocketry, martial arts (American-style Kenpo Karate, Chinese Wushu, Japanese Ninjutsu), traveling, walking in the park with Wifey and watching my stepdaughter struggle through college.

OK, your turn.
