Today’s Run:  Rest day because I messed up my foot.

Hobbies are getting to be a lost art form.  There is Wii, video games, T.V., Wii, video games, T.V… not much in the way of variety.  We are becoming a dull and monotonous bunch!

We have not had a T.V. at our house since 1988.  That is the year our daughter was born and I was teaching piano lessons.  I would have an eight year old kid over and try to discuss music theory with him/her when in the background you could hear the Cosby Show.  That is tough competition for music theory.  So, my husband and I decided to ditch the T.V.  A good decision all the way around.

That decision led us to develop a variety of hobbies. First and foremost a love of reading has come from that decision.  My husband is heavily into amateur radio.  I am into oil painting and we both are bee keepers and runners.  These things keep us active and happy.  We support each other in our chosen hobby and enjoy each others company on our combined interests.  Hobbies may be a lost art form but at our house they are alive and well!
