In no particular order besides spending time with my wife & kids...
Ski, Golf, Sail, Trading the Market
Occasionally Scuba dive and play softball/baseball (the softball/baseball thing used to be much bigger, then the whole team started having kids and other responsibilities).
I also enjoy travelling at least 2-3xs per year.
I'd like to add flying a plane to the list.
Hannah was awfully miscast in the first one, but she was one of the hottest things going at the time. I read she did not really want the role.
I agree, there will be too much focus on the daughter and Shia LeBeouf. I will see it just for the Geckko scenes, but I doubt we are looking at Godfather Part II here.
Gecko is a true folk hero and I hope they don't mess with him, although the trailer looks promising.
I LOVED the original, one of my all time favoritie movies. I was apprehensive about a sequal. And the trailer scenes with Shia Lebeouf/Carey Mulligan do nothing to quell my apprehension. But damn, its good to see Michael Douglas as Gordon Geckko again!

True and Doug Coombs is awesome, but this is a lot of fun as well and more accessible to more people. Anyway, I doubt Doug can ski at the speed Lindsey did last night.
Check out this exceedingly well done rap video that is actually a principled economics debate (shot partially at a friend's restaurant in lower Manhattan).
Really brilliant work, IMHO.
And that stud QB will be on IR in 3 weeks if Bell and other motley crew of LTs are protecting his blind side again. I don't disagree with the stud QB argument, but we need a LT pretty bad as well after passing on Oher last year for Maybin. If we had Oher, I'd be right with you in clamoring for the QB.
I have to say, I love the Winter Olympics far more than the Summer Olympics. Maybe growing up in Buffalo, skiing, skating, hockey etc. while growing up, I just relate more. It just feels right, far more understated than the summer variety.
We're doing Myrtle this year for the second time because the first was so much fun. We're headed down the weekend of 3/20. Thanx for the recommendations the first time.
Actually flying into Wilmington NC and renting a car because the flight was direct and much cheaper than Spirit Air. Its about 80 miles, so we'll see if it was worth it.
Tough one. In no particular order...
Cancun for Spring Break in 96 (I was a college tours rep and spent 6 weeks there)
Mardi Gras 2000 (Spent a week with 12 buddies, we drove down from Buffalo in a Winnebago and stayed right on Bourbon)
Summer in Europe in 97 (highlights included 2.5 weeks on the French Riviera, Ibiza Island in Spain, running of the bulls in Pamplona [Yes, I ran] and many other good times with two good buddies over the 10 weeks we were there).
St. Pats in Savannah 07 (very cool 4 day weekend)
We have two guys weekends every year, so we tend to go to various cities and party pretty good 2xs a year.
Still on the bucket list (likely to be done in the next 5 years)...
Carnivale in Rio
Oktoberfest in Munich
Fantasy Fest in Key West
