Good advice. But there are only so many hours of the day. I'm looking at a way of satisfying both my current hobbies and change. There is a Wednesday night group ride every week I'm looking into. I used to oil paint, and as soon as I get caught up on some projects, I'll start up again. A few years ago the W brought home some wing back chairs and she was going to reupholster them, but never did. I thought it would be nice to take a upholstery class together. She didn't. So I took it myself and almost finished one of the chairs before the class finished. I might go back.
At the risk of really outing myself (if anyone reads this who might possibly know me), I also have been playing bagpipes for 15 years. I give lessons on Mondays and have band practice one night a week. So, I'd have to give something I love up to make room for something else.
Like I said, there isn't much more I can do to get GAL. I'm trying to focus on changing my attitude in IC. But I'm not sure I need to be a lot more "new and improved".
