Sprott's Hobbies and Interests
Most of my interests outside of physics involve thinking or moving.
I tend to fall asleep when I read or watch television, and, although
I like music and theater, I get restless when I have to sit still in
one place for too long. Here are some of the things I've pursued
fanatically at one time or another:
Bicycling (commuting and
occasional day trips)
Camping (wilderness)
Canoeing (preferably quietwater
rivers)
Computers (of
course)
Dancing (ballroom, polka, cajun, contra,
square, folk, ...)
Flying (since 1971, private,
single-engine, instrument)
Ham radio (since 1955, amateur extra, W9AV, formerly K4BOM)
Rafting (small streams in southern
Wisconsin)
Skiing (downhill and
cross-country)
Spelunking (crawling around in
caves, mostly in east Tennessee)
Tennis (contingent on a suitable
partner)
Writing (books
and technical papers)
