What other obsessions do you have?

Definitely wine! Oh, and traveling... this self-absorbed snob is off to Australia next week to indulge in both obsessions.

I've had a number over the years at various times each were all consuming of my free time and include woodworking, gardening, bicycling, swimming. All I still enjoy but have not nearly the time for but often revisit.

The latest in spot #1 is learning the piano. It didn't start as an obsession but now has totally consumed much of my free time including listening to music...something I always wanted to learn beyond the exploratory stage and banging out melodies but never committed to. Thanks Zila, my wife for making it happen by signing me up and not taking no for an answer, I love you for it.

Two wheels, a big motor and an open road. I just can't schedule a critical listening session right after a few hours of riding...the ears won't cooperate after all that high compression combustion concussion!
