During my off-work hours, I greatly enjoy spending time with my wife and daughter.  We take walks, play some one on one basketball, vacation and visit family & friends..  I like to read and do some writing as well.  Playing my guitar and keyboards also afford me great pleasure.  And then there’s the Miami Dolphins....
