Sprott's Hobbies and Interests
Most of my interests outside of physics involve thinking or moving. I
tend
to fall asleep when I read or watch television, and, although I like
music
and theater, I get restless when I have to sit still in one place for
too
long. Here are some of the things I've pursued fanatically at one time
or another:
Bicycling (commuting and occasional
day trips)
Camping (wilderness)
Canoeing (preferably quietwater rivers)
Computers (of
course)
Dancing (ballroom,
polka,
cajun, contra,
square,
folk,
...)
Flying (since
1971, private, single-engine, instrument)
Ham radio (since
1955,
amateur extra,
W9AV,
formerly K4BOM)
Rafting (small streams in southern
Wisconsin)
Skiing (downhill and cross-country)
Spelunking (crawling around in caves,
mostly in east Tennessee)
Tennis (contingent on a suitable
partner)
Writing (books and
technical papers)
