The Case for Having a Hobby

 I really liked and keep thinking about this New York Times article, which begins, "Last spring, I forgot the word for hobby."  As someone who spends a lot of time thinking about how we evaluate our relationship with the work we do (and as an American), it can be easy for me to slip into a mindset where leisure exists to balance out work as opposed to thinking of work existing to support leisure.  I appreciate the reminder to value enjoyment as a stand-alone experience with no expectation of any kind of results.
