If the weather is decent, I like to spend my free time hiking, biking, fishing or driving country roads. But on rainy, wet or snowy days that’s not an option for me. At such times, I like watching DVD movies and I love reading history books. But my real rainy day passion is playing computer strategy war games.*
Those games can so completely suck me in that I can forget to stop to eat. Sometimes I’ll even find myself still playing when the sun comes up the next day.
Does one of your fun-time activities pull you in like that? Have you got a rainy day passion of your own that you would like to share?

*I’m not talking about shoot-them-up fantasy games where you guide a character around the computer screen blasting away at anything that moves. I’m talking about grand-scale historical games where you command whole armies and navies as they really were in battles and campaigns as they really started to happen. (I say “started to happen” because then your command decisions change history!)
