Well, I guess I like to putter around in the garden a bit.
So, I mean, living here, of course, it’s only, you can’t do that in the winter.
The things that I love to do are cook, so I invite people over a lot and
I try to entertain every week.
Spending a lot of time with friends as best I can.
We really make an effort, as a couple, to entertain, which always takes a lot of planning
because you have to get on people’s calendars.
I’ve done sketching and drawing for a number of years.
I’ve been taking some painting courses, stuff like that now.
Reading, being with friends, going to the gym.
I travel as much as I possibly can.
I do put a high priority on that, and my budget reflects that.
For almost a half-century, I’ve been the voice of the University of Michigan Marching Band.
And for the last 14 years I’ve been the voice of Michigan Stadium as well.
So, if you ever watch a game at the Big House in Ann Arbor, you can probably hear my voice
in the background doing the public address of who carried the ball or who made the tackle.
Music is a personal activity that’s very important to me.
So, literally the physical aspect of playing. So, that’s always fun.
I’m still part of two boards of organizations that have to do with
children who need special treatment.
I’m a lifelong learner, and so I’m always going to school to learn something.
I spend a lot of time raising money for local charities.
I do all my own work. I mow the lawn. I shovel snow, I do all that.
And friends ask me, “Can you afford? You can afford someone to do that.”
Yeah, I could, but I think I should do it as long as I’m capable of doing it,
because it’s good exercise and really I like doing it.
Your mind is free to think of other things.
You can daydream and everything while you’re doing that.
