I like to make cocktails, but I don't think I should adopt it as an actual hobby. Spending a couple hours a day on that would be detrimental to my general well being Bartending classes? And I love geocaching. We've cached in every state we've visited in the last ten years or so. Most require minimal physical activity to get to but it can also help you keep your Vitamin D levels up just by being outside.

Oh, and I like to listen to audio books. But that's mostly when I'm driving or traveling, which I do a lot of these days.

Rockit, why don't you pick something that you'd like to learn how to do or learn about and take that up as your hobby? When the local store quit carrying the kielbasa I liked, I decided to learn how to make sausage. To make the sausage, I needed to learn how to smoke food. Now I have a permanent smoke house set up in the yard. And recipes for some awesome kielbasa and summer sausage. My next project is to develop a recipe for black pepper summer sausage for a neighbor (that one started out as a batch with improperly blended spices that had a few sticks with some great pepper flavor). When I decided I wanted to get in better shape, bicycling looked easier than running. So I bought a bike. Ten years and seven bikes later I was a modestly successful bike racer with more than a coversational knowledge of bicycle mechanics, bicycle design and engineering, and exercise physiology, and way too much money invested in bikes. When I quit working, I'm going to learn how to build cabinetry and furniture. DW will be happy to see the thousands of dollars worth of shop equipment finally put to use. And, just maybe, I'll become a freelance travel planner. What better excuse to learn about the culture and sights to see in a bunch of different places? Being an escort for trips that you've planned could be fun, too. Become kind of a door to door travel service for people who want to go places and see things, but aren't comfortable doing it on their own. What do you dream about being able to do? Well, get out there and learn how. Now.

While free time is scarce anymore, I love collecting old rusty things. Collecting farm tractors and implements is my most favorite hobby, you need to have lots of space and understanding neighbors, but it can be very rewarding.
