Im not good at piping (yet, hehe)...but I fancy to be quite good at whistling.

Another skill that grew for the years is making web pages (even won some prizes

)

Ah, and I can sleep very well.

I make custom messenger bags. It has turned into a job even though it started as a hobby. If only piping were like that. Now that's a good joke...

here's my temporary website.

I spend a lot of time:-

drinking good Scotch

smoking cheap cigars (the ones that start massive coughing spasms) love them

I ride a Suzuki GSXR1100 at 140mph (it brings me closer to God)

I play piano, guitar and whistle for simple pleasure
and
I try to solve the unified field theory that Albert Einstein failed to solve because he took to drinking good Scotch and smoking etc.

The hardest thing is learning the UP.

I spent a very pleasant weekend with Andreas Rogge and others recently in a German castle drinking and smoking etc.
and made a very nice practice set that plays really well. I would post pics of the set but I don't know how.

I play a load of different instruments.

I sketch and am a cartoonist of some small fame.

I sing fairly well... sometimes.

I am a devoted lifemate... quite an easy thing to be with a wonderful wife like the one I share my life with.

My dog thinks I throw frisbees reasonably well.

Hi glands

Sloth.
Gluttony.
Avarice (when I see Uilliam's B and C sets).

And driving my poor teacher (the aforementioned Uilliam) nuts.

David

and to quote gedpipes, it is definitely a good life

Too many things.

In addition to my artistic career (http://ww.patrickmaun.com - i.e. where the money goes), and the design business (http://www.maunmedia.com - where the money comes from), I try and spend as much time as possible sea kayaking (http://www.skoac.org), rock climbing (http://www.patrickmaun.org/photos.html), riding my bike and my scooter and when I get around to it, composing experimental music (http://www.patrickmaun.com/music.html).

Occasionally, I find time to play the pipes.
