Oh man.....Let me see if I can list them all....
It's allowed me the opportunity to make some great friends. It's done wonders for not only my self esteem, but my confidence. It's given me something to do year round. Keeps my mind busy, takes my mind off of things at times. It's brought me closer to God. It's brought me closer to my kids. It drives my wife nuts.

It's put me all but in the poor house.[8D]
No certain order mind you..
