Once again this year, my birthday has come and gone, and my generous family and friends have showered me with gifts related to my expressed interests. Yesterday, I was looking over all these treasures, and sighing to Brian that, while I am excited about all these gifts, they all contribute to new hobbies: bread cookbooks, a pastry mat, and a picture book of wholecloth quilts. Don't I have enough hobbies - cooking ... stamp collecting ... tatting ... tap dancing ... tea ... crosstitching ... reading literature ... growing herbs - already? I haven't mastered these old hobbies yet! In fact, I've hardly put any time into them lately! What am I thinking embarking on new hobbies?
Hearing my sigh, Brian explained: Having all these hobbies is understandable - I merely have a meta-hobby of collecting hobbies. Thanks, Brian - another one to add to that list!

Perhaps hobbies are like old clothes - if you haven't pursued them in a while time to put them away and get new ones!
Yeah - I can't say I'm terribly good at getting rid of old clothes either. But then, I don't acquire new clothes as often as I do new hobbies!
