Also, it can really creep up on you. I get home at 7:30 each night. Watch TV until it's time to put the dog to bed at 10. 2.5 hours per week night. Add to that a race or game on the weekend, and a couple more hours in the weekend evenings. I bet I am near 20 hours per week.

For a real time killer, you should check out that interwebz thing. There's something there called Pelican that can suck away more time than you could imagine.

My evenings are usually spent amusing the kids. As for that internet nonsense, I know not of what you speak.

I know it could be done, it's just a big compromise that I can't justify right now. Flight training vs kid's ballgames, flight hours vs contributing to college funds and retirement. The list goes on and on, probably a good reason why many wait until later in life to pursue a pilot's license.
