With a few hobbies, I'll never get to "enough is enough". With audio, while I'm extremely happy with what I have so far, I would like to listen and compare components, and build another system in the house. I collect antique maps, and while that's a bit of a lower priority now with the audio habit ascendant, tuition, the market, etc., I'll always have more maps that I'd like to acquire. Same, as odd as it may sound, with genealogy. I get into it every few years with a bunch of research, a trip to somewhere the family is from, maybe meet some 'long lost' cousins, then drop it as time pressures and other interests take over. In a way it's like collecting, because you're adding names to your files, or pushing the limits as far as you can when trying to discover an earlier generation.

With all three of these (and others), I've had interest since a kid, and they've been in or out of focus over the years, but I always go back to them, and enjoy all three.
