Umm...

  1. Read books to my 8 year old daughter and 9 year old son (he loves listening even though he reads substantially faster than I do :eek:, esp Terry Pratchet I love doing voices with accents, esp a good Scottish Brogue :) ).
  2. Play Hero System (Champions) with the kids. He's a wanna be game designer (pretty dang good actually, made some awesome improvements to traditional games) while she's a natural born story teller, so they are a great combo.
  3. Play City of Heroes/Champions
  4. Looking forward to Stardock's Elemental: War of Magic which is shaping up to be the first good TBS game in a loooong time.
  5. Digging around researching cool J! extensions and other useful web tools.
  6. Playing with betas of all stripes. I just LOVE playing with shiny new web toys, and Susan is brilliant at breaking things in new and creative ways :).
  7. Woodworking of all stripes though haven't been doing much of that as I'm only just almost fully recovered from a 20 lb spool of nylon fibre smashing the last joints of my right ring and index finger so hard against my table saw top that the bone spurted out like toothpaste :eek:.
  8. Gardening: Susan's common member name is GofD which stands for Garden of Darwin. We plant interesting perennials, and if the thrive good. If they die, well so be it ;).
  9. Read books that my kids might like so I can give 'em good recommendations :).

Yer a good dad! :)
 
I tend to do the following

- code, with heavy metal blaring through earphones.

- watch movies, mainly horror.

- watch DVDs of TV shows, can't stand adverts at the best of times, current favs "True Blood", "Dexter", "Supernatural"

- read a whole bunch of books

- write reviews.

I was going to add watch Rugby, but that's hardly relaxing ...
 
I don't get a lot of "me" time, but when I do, I just like to curl up on the couch and watch a movie (or some tv), head to the beach or work on my truck.
