At various points in his life Paul was captain of a summer-league soccer team back in high school, sang tenor in the Cornell University Glee Club, performed in a couple of Gilbert and Sullivan shows with the Cornell Savoyards, and batted .751 with the U of T CS summer softball team. These days, Paul enjoys singing, good scotch, and sword fighting with the SCA, and has been known to enjoy good wine even though it doesn't involve a word that begins with an "s". He golfs as rarely as possible. On Sunday afternoons he puts on armour and hits other people as hard as he can with a practice sword at Casa Loma.
