“What is a hobby anyway? Where is the line of demarcation between hobbies and ordinary normal pursuits? At first blush I am tempted to conclude that a satisfactory hobby must be in large degree useless, inefficient, laborious, or irrelevant.
Perhaps we have here the real inwardness of our question: A hobby is a defiance of the contemporary. It is an assertion of those permanent values which the momentary eddies of social evolution have contravened or overlooked. If this is true, then we may also say that every hobbyist is inherently a radical, and that his (or her) tribe is inherently a minority.”

This little guy was part of a two-part set, the other being a duck quilt that my friend Rose made. We donated the items to a charity fundraiser. Glad to report that Look Out Duck and his friend Duck Quilt raised a tidy sum for a worthy cause.
