“My biggest hobby is rock climbing. I’ve been climbing for 30 years. We’d climb up in New Paltz, a place called The Gunks, which is world famous rock climbing. You have to put in your own gear and climb. So I’ve been doing that with that community for, like I said, 30 years. Also climbing around the United States. I actually moved out of New York City after 28 years upstate, so I can be closer to climbing. But we bought and we bought a house on an apple orchard, and I ended up renovating the whole house. But I also ended up spending the last three years renovating. So that’s what I do now. I talk, I only talk climbing, but I actually renovate for a living. And, that’s what I’ve been doing to our house. And it’s beautiful. I like, love it. And it really is a labor of love, but it takes up all my time. So in another year or so, I should be done. And then I’ll just get back into climbing.
My other passion that I started is designing and building furniture, which I’ve been doing now for about a year and a half, and I love it. My other passion that I started is designing and building furniture, which I’ve been doing now for about a year and a half, and I love it. I have a passion for cooking. I’m kind of like a gourmet cook. I hate that word, but I’m like a fancy schmancy cook. AndI could spend all day just, you know, picking out vegetables and produce and meats and then, you know, it would all these amazing recipes from all these great chefs. I can make anything and I and I do. So I’m always having people over, you know, for food and for drinks. And I’m kind of like a mixologist in a way. And since we live on an apple orchard these days, I’ve been making a lot of hot toddies and apple drinks with liquor, which is great.”
