Football in general (college and pro) Hunting, but I do enjoy shooting a few times a year. About the only thing I really look forward to is getting out on the river and fishing.

Revenge and misery. After my parents died, I got into a really dark place emotionally and wanted everyone to feel my pain.

Thankfully, I got out and into the light. God has changed my life into peace and joy.

Golf. Obsessed as a kid. Even made a living in the golf business which is probably what ruined it for me

Watching sports


Yep. I haven't watched a single sporting event in over a year. It's hilarious, as a former huge LSU and CFB fan, to read the score board and see people losing their minds over a game.

I'm sitting here listening to music and drinking a nice bottle of wine. Cool as a cucumber.

Work. Very difficult to balance ones life and work when they are the same passion. Thankfully I have plenty of past hobbies I'm looking to re visit. I need more time outdoors.

I can also add cooking. I used to love it, grilling, smoking etc I used to slay it but now I barely cook anymore. Kids growing up and busy it makes it tough to plan fine meals.

Deer hunting. I just love fishing more and I quit going.


Hunting in general for me. I’m just not that mad at them.

I dedicated my life to my children, when the first was born I stopped drinking and smoking, I just wanted to be the best dad I could be. I was abused by my dad, he would whip me so bad they would have to keep me home from school, I wanted to be the opposite.

Had great relationships with them until my wife started being a nagging faultfinder, no matter what they did, it was wrong. Now they avoid us, my wife says "so what", it crushes me.

You could be doing that, while watching one of the craziest endings in CFB history. Just saying

Playing cards. Loved to drink beer or coffee and smoking cigs while playing. Once I quit smoking it sucked all of the fun out of playing cards. I know its strange but true.

Most hunting except deer.Started hunting when I was 10 and was obsessed with it for years.Hunted everything.Especially loved squirrel hunting but haven’t been in several years.Deer are another story,I’m 71 and love it more than ever. 2 deer a year does me but I continue hunting until the bitter end In case I might see a real trophy.

Another thing I lost my passion for is reading the paper, specifically the Sunday paper. When I was just out of college, I had a subscription to the Sun Herald but would go to a local convenience store and get a Clarion Ledger and Times Picayune. Spent half the damn morning reading the paper and drinking coffee of Sundays. The last time I picked up a Sunday SunHerald from a store a couple years ago, it cost $4 and was only 2 sections. Nothing like it once was. I think I counted 4 locally written articles in the entire paper.
