Dear Albert,

    I have played drums for around eight years now. However, I am too old to be in Marching Band anymore (I like graduated from college, or something). Do you have suggestions as to what habit-forming activity I can substitute for my drumming addiction?

Dear Moo Moo Quad God,

    I'm thinking you need a hobby that can both represent your physical need to pound things as well as your secret desire to groove. And other than being like Bill Clinton, you might try Magic: The Addiction. It's fun, it's easy and it only requires about five grand to get started. However, keep a practice pad around just in case Magic doesn't do it for ya.
