It's so easy to look up in middle age and realize there are chores, there are obligations, there's a job, but there's no hobby anywhere in sight.
It's kind of ironic that we load our kids up with extracurricular activities so that they'll have a more well-rounded life, but then we drop every one of them as marriage, kids and career eat away at all of our time.
