Volunteer somewhere? You'd be amazed at some of the connections and opportunities that can come your way doing that. Bowling is fun if you're competitive and join a league or even just go with a friend or two. I do woodworking in my "spare" time. I hear ya' on the hours; I work 12 hour nights and my wife works 12 hour days...we see each other for more than a five minute stretch about once a week, so I make her things, lol! I'm working on a solid black walnut side table (Shaker-influenced design) and some other projects, time allowing to surprise her with. Fitness is always a good thing and keeps your mind occupied as well as being physically active. I'm trying to learn guitar but with my hours, it's not going too well find a teacher and the instruction DVD's might end up as drink coasters before it's all said and done, lol! Good luck and hang in there...oh and if you do elect to take over the world, could we talk about Miracle Whip?! That stuff is pure evil and I'd be forever grateful if you'd ban it, provided you are successful taking over and all.
