Winter Fishing on the Block
What does it take for an activity to become a pastime?
The word itself is simple enough. Alone it means the same thing as a hobby. A thing you enjoy and do to get away from the stresses of work or life and just relax. To pass the time. Once upon a time it was well-known that the mantle of America’s Pastime is taken up by baseball. Whether or not that’s still true is a subject for another time. What’s true today is that various states and communities continued to create – and stand by – pastimes of their own.
