What does your father do for fun?

[KyuubiNoKitsune-Hime]

What my dad does for fun is pretty simple:
-He listens to Audio books, mostly sci-fi, he's the one who introduced me to Honor Harrington.
-Plays a lot of Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares, Bejeweled, and sometimes FPS games. He's not as big a gamer as I am though.
-Listens to the Security NOW! podcast hosted by Steve Gibson(the one famous for computer and robotics stuff) and Leo Laporte, so he can terrify me with new security threats.
-Watches a lot of BBC shows on PBS and TCM, along with The Shanarra Chronicles, Castle, Bones, Blue Bloods, and Chuck Lorre sitcoms, and internet video shows like Ridiculousness and TruTV's Top Funniest.
-He's a big fan of lolcats, and cats in general... All hail the objectively best companion animal, smarter than a dog and doesn't crap on the carpet!

He enjoys watching movies, working on the car, and watching hockey like many other syrup-blooded Canadians. The thing he probably enjoys the most is golfing and since he only has roughly 3-4 months to play each year he's out almost every weekend when the weather's decent.

My father quite enjoys travelling as well so the two of us go on a camping trip every summer if we can.

On his own? Golf. When me or my brother are available, video games. He's particularly fond of the Metroid Prime series and Duke Nukem (not my cup of tea, but that's one of the few games he can handle the controls of. Likes having the auto-center function for some reason). He doesn't have the eye hand coordination to play them himself mostly, so he plays through us. Shame he doesn't like RPGs like I do. But my brother's more of a console gamer than I am and their tastes line up nicely, so it all works out.

He reads and plays an absurd number of escape the room and adventure type games on his Kindle.

He's also building a Vineyard, but that's not as much fun.

Mostly golf and riding his power boat.

When with the family, we play tennis, play pool and watch movies.

My old man is hopelessly addicted to Candy Crush Saga.

Other than that, he enjoys a wide range of movies, watching American football, and spending time outside in the nice weather by the pool when applicable.

Go whoring and drinking.

He sometimes calls me though, which is cool.

He cycles. Every Tuesday night he and his friends go for a ride and then go to the pub, and every Sunday they go for a ride and stop for soup and cake somewhere. When he's not out he's usually tinkering with one of his bikes. He's also a big alternative rock and punk fan, and likes a nice gritty crime thriller novel as well. Then, of course, there's the traditional north-eastern past time of watching Newcastle United get beaten 2-0.
