I have made some attempts at developing a hobby. Unfortuately, my efforts have been for naught. Here is a summary.
1. I tried weaving
bought lots of cute yarn
weaved about 30 rows
created some sort of unusable cup holder
promptly donated skeins to Goodwill for betterment of humanity
2. I tried glass art
bought cute paints
painted pictures on glass
developed skin allergy to glass paint
donated products to goodwill for betterment of humanity
3. I tried painting plant pots.
bought more cute paints
painted about 5 plant pots
developed severe case of boredom
products hanging out in craft graveyard in my junk room.
I think I should be banned from Michael's Craft Store for crimes against crafts and humanity.

Don't mess with my turkey, Dude!
I was leaving my beloved "wholesale club" last Friday when this nicely dressed men muttered something. I foolishly thought he was asking for directions. No he was me asking for money! I shook my head and said NO! And I thought that was the end of that!
Well, this guy starts following me to my car! I get freaked out and run back into my beloved "wholesale club." I tell this lady who works there about this guy and she calls the Police!!! Luckily there is an officer who is posted outside the store and he immediately chases the guy across the street.
I hang out at the store until the officer gets back. I am totally freaking out and then I realize I somehow I managed to hold onto my rotisserie turkey during my sprint back to the store!
The officer gets back and tells me this guy is a "regular" and a panhandler. He can't arrest him for reason x and reason Y. OK I understood that. I am glad the guy was shooed away from the store. I am happy the police officer was there and I am safe.
Well, this incident really provoked alot of thought. You really have to be on guard in the DC metropolitan area. You really can't let your guard down. I have to say that I'd really like to move home and not have to deal with this kind of stuff.
If things got really bad, I think I would have thrown my rotisserie turkey at the bad guy, kick him, and ran like hell. I learned from my favorite movie, Battle Royale that anything can make a good weapon!
