Hobbies

My favorite exercising are yoga and biking. Basic recreational hobbies and interests are reading fiction and nonfiction, binge watching TV and hanging with my kids. I also enjoy fishing, playing and watching baseball and hockey, and hiking whenever the weather is nice. I also geocache. That's basically going out into the woods to find hidden Tupperware containers using GPS coordinates beamed to my phone by multi-million dollar satellites. :)
