My hobbies include soccer, basketball, volleyball, golf, tennis, track, cross country, trivia, cooking, skiing, fishing, hiking, ice-skating, gymnastics and last but not least, Excel spreadsheets. My max bench press comes in somewhere around 25 pounds. I usually do not keep track. My ideal first date is an all-inclusive, all-paid-for shopping spree on the Plaza.
