    I saved your comment to respond later once I got my words together.

    I really appreciate your comment, seriously. But I never thought of it as a hobby, I thought of it as an obligation, to understand time, as best as possible anyways.

    At age 9, I had just recently gotten my first glasses. I was left home alone for like a half hour, and I just stared at their analog clock. After 5 minutes, counting the ticks and watching the dials, I just understood it. Never even had to ask an adult.

    I always thought of it as an obligation of education that I somehow missed before I got glasses.

    I never once thought of it as a hobby before you described it that way.
