hobbies come and go, i did one particular sport for years and burned out... despite performing at the top level i ditched it and now dont care a jot about it.
i think hobbies should be done because they drive a passion within you, ive done many things over the years ,
Rockclimbing... still got a full lead rack but too old for cranking off two fingers, i dont think the heart could take it either
Canoeing... smashed the canoe and that was that
Bowhunting.... hunted just about every different pest species around, bit more of a pacifist nature lover these days.
Four wheel driving.... after 3 4wd vehicles i found it like driving with the crowd ( no matter where you go so does everyone else)
Landscape Photography... the change to digital killed it, still got the medium format camera but who does cibachrome prints these days.
Bushwalking.....Still like it but finding time is hard
Fishing... as above
point being do what pleases you not what you feel an obligation to do (particularly as you have the website), life allows us to explore different things and experience the joy of doing new things. This probably is a bit different from most responses, but you dont HAVE to do astronomy or any particular thing , put it down for a while and the interest may be rekindled... maybee not , does it really matter in the big picture.
i wouldnt mind getting a couple of sea kayaks and doing that one day....
cheers clive.
