    3 of my doctors have Caymans. I have driven both the new Cayman and the 991 and I prefer the Cayman. It feels more nimble and quicker. Porsche even admits that it will not give the Cayman too much power so it does not come close to the 911 models in performance.

    The Cayman is a Boxster coupe. Generally same drive train and chassis. Both Boxster and Cayman will handle better than a 911 because the engine is inside the wheelbase. My Boxster drives like it's on rails. Hard to make the tires break traction.

    I'd like to have time for hobbies. I make pottery but can't call it a hobby because I depend on it for income. So, it is a job. If I had time for hobbies, I'd like to do things in the fiber arts, like sewing, quilting, weaving, dyeing. I could call gardening a hobby, but I don't have time to do it properly. But seeing as how some nice things do grow and flower every year, in spite of the weeds and lack of care, it is worthwhile and fulfilling without me putting a lot into it. I think gardening is a great hobby for Weggies; it can be on as large or small a scale as you can manage. As far as sports go, it would be walking, maybe boating, nothing too competitive or demanding, not golf. Although I guess walking around the golf course on a nice day could be pretty good.

    I understand your 'but', BUT the colloquial phraseology of the current etymological standards of the youthful/musical congregation of world wide standards and their music requires that 'somebody get up'!! That would be US...somebody needs to get their asses in gear in order to beat this disease...yesssss, MORE coffee....now everybody get UP!!!

    I forgot to mention my biggest time-waster of all--pinterest! When I need to rest but can't sleep, or am up in the middle of the night using my nebulizer, or bored watching a kids' movie with my kids, I 'shop' on pinterest, pinning home decor, art, clothing, recipes that I'd like to use but almost never do... It satisfies my need for beauty, colour, etc. when I'm too lacking in energy to create. It also quiets the shopping gene because pinning that beautiful gown I'd never have any use for makes me feel as though I have it... I haven't been on pinterest since I found this forum... Hmmmm. This appears to be my new hobby.
