Other Hobbies - Page 4

Photographer, equipment handler for my wife when she shoots her travel photos (gets me a deductible trip to Europe occasionally) and her lackey when she shoots football and basketball. I like travel and try to get to a new Country yearly, sometimes the same one multiple times. My co-workers would tell you that I practice law as a hobby since they see me so infrequently but---I am the boss!

Like to eat different foods but absolutely hate cooking. Do not drink anymore so bar hopping is not a hobby. I do volunteer work for several charities as does my wife. I would love to finally retire and would love to live on a Nature Reserve.

When I was very young I had a great set of bubblegum train trading cards, when we moved they mysteriously dissapeared. As you were I was devastated and still wish I had those cards to this day about 50 years latter LOL.

Seems like years ago, adults didn't realize what value they were discarding. We had a bunch of old comic books including dozens of old Superman comic books going back into the late thirties and forties. They had been left behind by the previous owner of the farm. Nowadays, one could probably make thousands of dollars for these. When we later moved into town, a lot had to be left behind; presumably these comics were among those discarded. Anyway, I got a lot of enjoyment out of them.

We also sold a 1929 Model A Ford for $10. A few years later they were already commanding hundreds of dollars.
