Where do you find the time to stop and do something like tying knots? Maybe when I am old and retired, well so far I have got the retired part but
no time for tying knots, though I would love to do it. they are really fascinating.

It's not a matter of getting time, rather making time, Ralph. (BTW, I did all that decorative knotting while I was still working.)

If one doesn't take time to do the things in which one is interested, the things from which one can learn, life is just a progression from one drudgery to another.

It helps that, at 76 years of age and retired for 22 years, I've never watched a football or baseball game. If religion is the "opiate of the masses" then sports are the crack cocaine, an insidious, addictive poison of minds and learning. Making time for pursuing creativity and the artistic is easy once one kicks the habit.
