I was thinking today about how much time I spend building LEGO models (My

I realized that I spend an average of at least 2-3 hours a day, every day.
This includes dry periods where I'm doing something else or take a break for
a few days (because there are other days where I'll "play" for about 6-8
hours!).

So, this is about 14-21 hours a week!  That's quite a bit of time for a
hobby.

Only in the opinion of people who don't figure out how much time they spend on
their own hobbies, I think.  Based on how much time people spend watching,
thinking about, and talking about their TV shows, you're A-OK.

What do other people think?  Is it unhealthy to build LEGO that much?  Are
other people worse?

Well, if you're looking for someone to make you feel better, I don't think I'm
it.  8)
I go through periods of sporadic building where I'll work with LEGO for a few
hours a night, but they're often interrupted by my other hobbies (after a
karate
workout I'm usually too bushed to think much about building) and spending time
with my wife.  So probably about 7-10 hours a week.

That's not counting LUGNET, though. I class that under 'Internet time'. 8)

My problem is, I have too many hobbies...
