Uhm, mostly I just studied in my spare time, tinkered around. Wrote papers for scientific journals, that sort of thing. I did yoga in the mornings - still do that here. Been thinking of checking out that museum everyone's talking about ... one of the few things my ex-wife left me that I still enjoy is an eye for art. I had quite a collection of masks from different cultures, at home. A couple of paintings.
