Jigsaw Puzzling: “I was given a laser-cut wood puzzle where each piece is crazy unique. It’s the hardest I’ve done; now I won’t do anything else.”Sidle Up: “I love bars in all shapes and sizes. It’s usually my go-to spot in any restaurant. Thankfully, this town has a lot of them with a fantastic food component.”Roll Away: “I play bocce any chance I can, usually at the beach. I played in the first Special Olympics Bocce Bash 20 years ago and have played ever since.”Bareboating: “Sailing is dear to me. I spend as much time as I can on the water here. I taught my kids how to sail while bareboating in the Caribbean with friends.”Mad for Micro: “I love anything in miniature. I would’ve loved to work in the Smithsonian on the dioramas of ancient Rome and Indian encampments.”Architect Dan Sweeney’s firm Stumphouse specializes in the adaptive reuse of historical spaces for restaurants.
