      Totally agree.  Over the past 3-6 months very little has really attracted my attention and I've really stopped paying attention to upcoming releases like I used to.  It also doesn't help that the wife and I are saving for a house so spending has really gone down.

        I also find that hobbies grow and shrink with time, circumstance, and other life demands.  I think it's natural, and something to acknowledge but not feel bad about.

        I had a full humidor of cigars for years while I lived in a rowhome in Baltimore with a crappy back area that I didn't want to spend 2 minutes in.  I also worked most evenings and certainly couldn't smell like a cigar whilst coaching at a gym, so smoking in the middle of the day was a no-go.  Sometimes I'd look at the humidor and feel a bit dejected, wondering if I'd ever enjoy them again or if it was all just a waste.  However, now that I've got my nature paradise back yard, and a lawn to mow, I smoke 1-2 times per week and am running through all these old cigars.  I'll often look up in my email when I actually bought the things, some are over 10 years old!  It's been fun revisiting a hobby that has laid fallow for so long, and it's almost time to restock.

        Luckily, hobbies don't care if you need some time away.  They'll be right there waiting when it's time to pick them back up, and others will keep them warm for you in the meantime.

                        Yes, 12-9 or 1209 is my birthday. Just coincidence that it came up today.

                            Another funny occasion while staying at the hotel at JFK airport, my last night there, I sat next to 2 Brits that work for a company the constructs these huge stairways to work on large aircraft. They also have one that reaches up to the power turbines. After  a few drinks I mentioned that I have been to Gosport, they both had a puzzled look like why would you go there. Funnier though was the one guy lives in Woking.

                              Did they look at you even more puzzled after you explained to them that you went to Gosport to meet a bunch of dudes you met on an internet forum where we talk about jeans?  😃

                                Denim meet ups sound and look fun in theory but I often wonder how many sit quietly and don’t say anything? I’m an introvert and tend to keep to myself in social settings, so I’d probably be a pariah.

                                  The one denim meet up I went to was tons of fun,but it was at a Beer Garden of sorts and there was alcohol involved. The wives/girlfriends etc. had a lot of fun observing us.

                                    Yes they did. Even more puzzled when I mentioned I was there 2 nights.

                                      As an awkward introvert myself, I've found IH meet ups to be surprisingly easy.  Although, as stated above, the socialization is easier with alcohol.

                                        Going back to hobbies for a minute. I think they are important as they are a distraction from the hum drum of life. For me most hobbies involve kit. Take cycling or mountain biking, buying parts, upgrading, new cycling clothes, and then there’s the selling bit as well. Meeting guys in Petrol Stations, doing deals and talking sh!te. Forums.. the internet is to blame for lots of these things BTW. And clothes are the same. The internet and magazines are the ruin of man. They just make you want things. I’ve gotten to the point that I’d say my hobbies are collecting hobbies, and spending money on hobbies.. But I wouldn’t be without them!
