Steve Albrecht grew up in and continues to reside in Suburban Philadelphia. He lives with his wife, 2 children, 1 dog, and 2 guinea pigs. He enjoys running, playing with his kids and coaching their baseball and soccer teams, and taking long romantic walks with his wife (and dog) several times around his neighborhood. He also enjoys listening to music and playing the piano, including songs by The Beatles, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, The Grateful Dead, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, you know – the good music.
One thing he does not enjoy doing all that much anymore is skiing. This is partly because he is ‘getting older.’ If you want to know more about what ‘getting older’ means to him and why it is in apostrophes, you’ll just have to read the book.
Another thing that he does not enjoy very much, even though it seems to be ‘all-the-rage’ these days, is paddle boarding. He has paddle boarded a few times in the past, and can report that the combined activities of standing up and sweeping very slowly is not all that much fun. One thing he enjoys a little more now that he is ‘getting older’ is hiking. Although he does not enjoy it all that much, and during some hikes he is mostly thinking that he would rather be at home watching the game. This reminds me – he also enjoys watching the Philly sports teams, and especially enjoys watching them win, which does NOT happen very often.
In his younger days he enjoyed playing sports including soccer, basketball, baseball, football, hockey, tennis, golf, and while he still tries to play those sports, he enjoys them a little less because, you guessed it – he is ‘getting older.’
He spends the rest of his time on activities such as assembling Ikea furniture, cleaning up messes (both kid and pet), and buying pet food and pet supplies at the pet store. He characterizes these activities as “less enjoyable.” In fact, if you happen to bump into him at the pet store, he’ll likely be grumbling about the amount and cost of pet food and supplies, so you should probably just leave him alone. If you want to know more about the things that the author does and does not enjoy, then you’ll just have to read the book.
