What are your DH's hobbies?

DH complains periodically about not having hobbies/interests and gets bored with the work --> home daily routine. He does go out for drinks pretty often and plays video games after DD goes to bed sometimes. Are there any scheduled activities/teams your DH is involved with? Any special interests? I'm tying to come up with some ideas for him. He likes to be active so I have suggested team sports, but his schedule varies, so it's hard to commit to a team.

Re: What are your DH's hobbies?
DS2 - Oct 2010 (my VBAC baby!)
My DH loves disk golf as well but it's something we all go do together.
On his own, DH enjoys mountain biking and usually goes once a week.
Reading geek blogs and style blogs on his iPad?
Hes really into health and nutrition also.. always researching and stuff.
He going to the drivkng range and plays for a semi pro football team
During football season he is a fantasy football addict and lives and breathes NFL network. I'm obsessed with football too though so it works out nicely
He plays video games sometimes, goes to the gym a lot, golfs, goes to the driving range, plays poker once in a great while.
My husband's career is like a hobby to him (not joking!). He's so invested in his work that he'll work all day, come home for dinner, get the girls to bed and go back to his computer and work more, not because he has to but because he's on a roll and wants to get more done. This is why he quit a job to return to graduate school, learning is his love and thankfully his field is one of the few in academia that pays reasonably well.
He also plays guitar and keyboard (although he hasn't had as much time for that in the past few years), plays video games and is an avid reader. Sometimes for fun he'll also write computer programs. Once in college when we had a warm winter he made a computer program that made my computer "snow" because he felt bad that we hadn't gotten any; it was complete with penguins.
He also genuinely wants to spend a lot of "his" time doing things with the kids. So weekends we usually do something fun as a family.
DH is a huge gamer geek. He plays Magic and tabletop war games. He also enjoys first person shooter computer games and the occasional video game. he also plays D&D with his best friends through Skype once a week.
He also loves music and plays guitar and bass and sings. He has made a demo cd and was part of a band for a little bit when we were dating.
He loves football (more college than pro) and he also cheers for our alma mater in other sports when we watch (mostly basketball and wrestling).
It sounds like a lot, but per my request, he has cut down a bit on hobby time for more time with his family. :-)
Before we met, he played in a band. All of the guys have since gotten married and/or had kids, so none of them do that anymore. Although, I'd be all for it if he wanted to start again. He rarely goes out and I think it would be good for him.
He likes to play video games, reads comic books, watches movies (he's on a documentary kick right now), he plays guitar/keyboard and reads books about science. That's about it.
When Ben and Alex are old enough to start participating in sports and/or Boy Scouts, he wants to be involved in that. He also wants to take them camping. I told him to go for it...and that I will be staying home with the electricity and indoor plumbing.
ETA: I completely forgot to say he's a huge sports fan. He loves the Phillies and has a love-hate relationship with the Eagles. He likes college basketball too. He is also hopelessly addicted to Twitter.
Soccer, both as a player (he is capitain of his team) and as a follower (goes to the stadium when our city team plays here every 2 weeks; follows some matchs on tv)
Video games (soccer, races) when he gets some alone time at home (if the kids and I are out, before work when he wakes up early..)
Cooking, he's the family's chef, yay because I hate cooking!
Biking/running/working out/adding gadgets to his car when he has time and will
We also try to meet our friends at least once a week, but we usually do it as a family
DH plays city league basketball and softball. He coaches baseball for the high school after work.. and volunteers for the hs football team. Then he has season tickets for the Seahawks and UW.
Obviously he loves sports. I'm not to sure those things are real hobbies, but they take up a LOT of time.

The one that takes the most time is distance running. He runs full and half marathons regularly and has a long run every Sat plus 3 shorter runs during the week. He also plays golf and tennis.
He also watches NCAA basketball during the winter, reads, and occasional fiddles around with photoshop/pictures.
As a couple/family, we enjoy traveling, working on house projects, watching movies, etc. On weekends he usually does his run first thing on Saturday and the rest of the time we all hang out together.
Huge sports fan! Baseball and football are his favorites but like any other man he will watch anything sports related. Watching it on tv or even going to the games is always something he enjoys.
Outdoors! Hubby loves being outside. He enjoys walks and jogs and we always go together. He loves just sitting on the back porch and believe it or not loves when he cuts grass... I find it rather weird but hey, if it gets the job done. Haha.
