What hobby(ies) do you have? What's your passion?

Enough about what you do for a living; what do you do to enjoy life?
A fellow I knew once told me that your hobby is more important than your livelihood, it's your life! You should
devote more energy to your hobbies/crafts than you do to your job to serve your sense of self.
I know that a bunch of folks here spend 'way too much time on the keyboards; so do I. Bad habit, mostly.
I know that a bunch of us collect, barter/trade and sell/buy coins.
What do you do to give some other perspective to your life?
I sing (choir and close-harmony Barbershop-style music), and play bluegrass and celtic music for fun, fish on the
river with the 'good ol' boys', and hunt birds to make it all meaningful. Coins are a passion, and the flames are hot!

Every day is a gift.

Besides coin collecting, I enjoy playing my guitar, chatting/checking-forums/playing-games/etc on the computer and, in general, hanging out with my friends.
Other than that my interests are all collecting. Lincoln cents, Greek coins (modern), and one very odd one...those little license plates that used to come out of cereal - I have hundreds of them.
The Lincoln cent store:

Perhaps the price is just too steep.
Is your conscience at rest if once put to the test?
You awake with a start to just the beating of your heart.
Just one man beneath the sky,
Just two ears, just two eyes.
Besides the horses, I have a 6 year old daughter and a six month old son who both keep me young and make me old.
Lastly, I like to collect old, tarnished silver coins!
At least what the mummy from Scooby Do said....
Coins come in at a close second while my other hobby is collecting vintage Fender Stratocasters.
I post quite a bit during the non-sailing season, but after this week (boat is launched this coming Monday) you will see less of me.
