How much is enough

Musicans - I'm sure we all deal with this one - a significant other says to you that you play music all the time.    You think about it for  a few minutes and it seems like you hardly play at all.   After all, you only practiced for a few hours on Sunday, had a 3 hour band rehearsal, gave a 90 minute lesson monday, picked for fun for about an hour on tuesday, went to a jam session for the evening on wedensday, learned a new tune on Thursday that took about an hour and a half and spent another hour working up some musical ideas for a gig, only played for fun for about 1/2 hour on Friday, and then Saturday got up early and played for about 2 hours before you started your day.  This doesn't count the listening time - having music on all day at the office, always in the car, and listening on the weekends to some of the great music shows we are blessed to have around here. 

Now does that seem like too much?   Acutally, as I pondered the question, it seemed more like not enough.   12-15 hours a week does have it's benefits, but it's hardly enough to satisfy - right??
