Free Time

Streetalk.

By Aaron S. Birk

Oh, the hours when you are not at work! Apart from the daily humdrum are those little quirky things people do in their spare time. Whether it''s diving out of a perfectly good airplane or simply reading the works of Shakespeare, everyone has a hobby--and the character of the individual is forged by the hobbies one keeps. So put on your parachutes, folks, and leap into another round of Street Talk.

Sam Peryman

Stunt man, Monterey

What kinds of things do you do with your time? I like doing things that carry an adrenaline rush. I like to parachute and dangle off of speeding cars--safely.

What kinds of things have you done? Well, I held the world record for the high fall for about a month: 22 stories.

Anything else quirky? I can balance a bike on my chin. Wanna see?

Patrick Planchon

Limousine driver, Monterey

What''s something great you did today? I returned someone''s wallet, three hours away down past King City.

What do you do with your free time? I don''t really do much besides work and drink...hmmm.

Come on! You do have a hobby, right? OK! I play the bagpipes, but I don''t really want people to know because they might ask me to play.

Ken & Beverly Tranter

Landscaper & lady, Cleveland, OH

What things do you two do? Exercise, mostly and take care of our possessions. Free time is maintenance time.

Anything just for fun? Yep, motorcycle riding. I own a Harley Davidson Heritage Soft Tail.

What was a great thing about today? Oh, just being here and meeting you.
