I'm not *too* enthralled with TV, so it wouldn't be too hard for me. I would probably just read more, write more and could go online. I generally only watch TV at the end of the night and even then not every night.
APBM,
What's a hobby you like to do that gets you out of the house but does not involve (A) drinking or going to a bar and (B) working out for the sake of being in shape?

I love junk shops and thrift stores. I'm capable of losing entire Saturdays in one or more of my favorite haunts, even when I can't buy much of anything.

I'm a Virgo, though I don't put a whole lot of stock in it. It's fun to read now a horoscope now and then, but I don't run my life by it.

Indeed. Not, mind you, based upon any driving need for astronomical accuracy but, rather, because I like clever mnemonics. I was raised on "My Very Educated Mother Just Showed Us Nine Planets" and now I'm forced to reconcile myself with ""My Very Educated Mother Just Showed Us... Nothing."
APBM,
What are your retirement plans? (I'm not referring to your portfolio but, rather, what are you going to do?)

We've talked about moving to Florida, probably the Orlando area ... I'd like to work for Disney, maybe at the Disney Institute giving backstage tours ...
APBM,
Same question ...

Not since Spielberg and I had our bitter falling out over my name not appearing above the title of the film ...

Retirement? I can't ever imagine it at this point! The only way I can see myself retiring would be to become a multi-millionaire and then pursue opportunities where I can waste a few million, such as start my own comic book company. That would be like retirement.
But I guess maybe own my own place in Key West for constant trips down.
APBM,
Do you have a favorite board game (now or from your youth)?

Eurorails! you get to build railroads all over Europe with crayons (on an erasable board), and pick up and deliver loads based on demand cards. There are other regional and even fantasy variants of this game, too. But I'd be amazed if any of you have years of them.
APBM, What do you think of the old silent film era?

Enjoy it! Note I didn't say I "love it" because I feel like that would be exaggerating. But I got to see some great silent films when I took a film class in college and really grew to have an appreciation for what was being accomplished.
I also think Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin were great. But my favorite of them was Harold Lloyd, who I got to really delve into.
APBM,
What's your favorite era of Westerns? If not a fan, do you have one you prefer better than the rest?

I really go all over the place in my musical tastes... but the last couple years, Blues from about the 20's to the 40's has really emerged as my go-to genre.
APBM,
Has anyone that you've ever met online later turned into a real-world friend? To clarify, not simply someone that you'll hang out with at a Comic-Con or whatnot, but someone that you'd consider close?
