Hobbies

I've been thinking lately. I have a lot of cool stuff; Home Theater, Xbox, PS2, ye 'olde trusty Mac, and my GunPla collection. I have several cool hobbies. From electronics, to photography, to watching movies, and home improvement. My question is, do I really need all these hobbies? Do they really make me a happy person?

Or do they take time away from what really makes me feel a sense of accomplishment. My son.

He has his hobbies now. Mostly Thomas, but anything involving trains will do.

I'll admit, sometimes, after a hard day of work all I want to do is veg out. Sitting in front of the TV, or staring at the computer is the easiest thing to do. The problem is, when I'm done zoning out, R3 is already asleep. I missed out on another "guy time." Generally I'll put him to bed 4-5 nights a week out of 7. That is a priority I have tried to keep. I'll change his "doopy," get his jammies on, give him his nightly bottle of milk and finish off by reading him two stories. One train story followed by a Bible story.

When I think about it. R3 is the most fulfilling "hobby" I have. That is what has made me question my priorities lately.
