Music. Not to play. I'm not lucky enough to have that talent. But listening and collecting it. I set aside a bit of time at the end of every day to sit back or lay down and listen to music. It's relaxing, I get to think, and sometimes, depending on the artist, it even verges on meditative. That might not qualify as a hobby, but collecting music does. I have started downloading a few songs, but if I still prefer to have the weight of a CD case in my hands. There's something about that tactile contact that will never be replaced by a flashdrive and a USB port. I have thousands of CDs. It's the one "thing" I am not trying to get rid of (I've lately begun to clean my life of unneeded material clutter).
