Bowling, running my daughter to Softball and her gymnastics.

Bowling is something I do every weekend to spend time with friends and family. I'm not very good, but getting together with good friends and family is always a good time. Running my daughter to softball is a hobby because that's when we have our best talks. She and I talk, laugh, sing along to the radio and have a good time.
