Cooking: definitely a favorite way to decouple from my work day.
Music: I gave up on the guitar after 40 years but I now enjoy the Didgeridoo and Native American flute.

There's an idea! In the past I played the saxophone quite fanatically but had to stop because of lung trouble (weak spot in a lung, too much pressure). Didgeridoo... What a bummer to have to pay for your medical bills out of pocked, weren't you insured ?
If you'd like to look into it, I'd recommend the Didjeribone. Plastic, lightweight, sounds really awesome even compared to my authentic didj, and you can change its pitch. As for the medical bills, well I was pretty young and felt invincible. That delusion was thoroughly shot down.
About the young and invincible thing, I think that the sooner you realize that is not the case the better it actually is, because it will rub in really hard that you have to take care of your body.
Investment early in life really pays off big time in that respect.

Yes, I am. Thus the fanboyism. Although, the fanboyism preceded (and caused) me being his student.

Based on a CNBC special I saw a year or two ago, I believe Warren Buffett is also regular bridge player.
Indeed. In fact, Buffet and Gates often play bridge together, both online and IRL.
