I love to build model aircraft and spacecraft, and am working on a Space Shuttle kit and an F-14 Tomcat. I got started when I was a kid, fell away in college (I was too busy studying and working) and got back into it a few years ago. I also enjoy bowling. Last week I got a 201 but yesterday I got a 96 (then followed that with a 162 - my average this year is around 140 and I'm joining a league in a couple of weeks). And there's working with and upgrading - occasionally building - my own computer. As for watching sports, I like college football best (Arizona Wildcats), followed by pro, and then basketball (in mourning over losing to Illinois) and baseball, and I find I enjoy events better when I'm there in person. Maybe in the future, we'll be able to enjoy lunar baseball and zero-g football, soccer, basketball.....Or lunar hockey on an ice rink at the north pole, by then the NHL will have a labor agreement -------------------- - My signature idea machine is busted right now.

UMSF is the best place in the Cosmos to do this, in my humble opinion. Sports? Well, I'm 50 years old and still on the mend from a knee surgery I had six months ago (they take an awful long time to regain full mobility, unfortunately), so I don't play much in the way of sports. But I'm a pretty standard American sports fan, I guess. I like football (Chicago Bears fan), baseball (Chicago Cubs fan), and basketball (used to be a Chicago Bulls fan, back when they had Michael Jordan, but the Minnesota Timberwolves have been the only team from my new [for 11 years, now] home that I've been able to get excited about). I'm not all that fond of professional hockey or European football (soccer, we call it) -- it's just what I was brought up with, I guess. I do enjoy watching Olympic hockey -- for some reason, it's a much more enjoyable game when the main point isn't waiting for the next major fight to break out... -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
