My wife does the gardening while I'm out riding my bicycle. I ride about 6,000+ miles a year and I read Stereophile mostly for laughs. I do find that I now have trouble talking with some of my Kool-Aide drinking audiophile friends about audio so now we just talk about music. A much better topic. As for music, jazz is my main area of interest. Lots and lots of jazz. Perhaps that is why I don't make to big a stink about the loudness wars, except of course when I listen to a modern popular music release. Often times they are unlistenable because of the severe dynamic range compression combined with over driven loudness levels. A terrible thing to do to any music.
