Bicycling and partner dancing. I spend time in front of the computer for work and for fun, so I need some active hobbies to balance that out. Biking combines the thrill of exploration with the ritual of gear preparation and the endorphins and physical effects of exercise. Dancing is deeply perceptive on both auditory and physical levels. It encourages me to be social and approach people I don’t know. Together, it’s about the balance for me. If I loaded cases of beer onto trucks all day I’d probably be a professional hammock-er when I got home.
