Reading
I read 100 novels in 2015 and continue to read a lot. Below are some of the books I've read recently.
Travel
Some of my favorite places (Paris; The Maldives; Los Angeles; Sterling, MA; New York; Bangkok; The Taj Majal; Amsterdam; Pittsburgh; Ireland; Hampi; Udaipur; Belize)
Yarncraft
I especially like knitting animals, blankets, hats, and lace shawls.
Gastronomy
Amateur culinary anthropology.
Cooking and baking
Fire-escape gardening
Conducting wine tastings
Food vacations
Music
Music snobbery: including going to shows and amassing a collection of over 1000 vinyl records.
