I like logic problems, and doing crossword puzzles in ink. Syllogistic reasoning is not something enough people practice. I find it refreshing when I encounter it. Sorry, this was probably not what you wanted to hear. There is nothing wrong with cross-stitching, and I'm sure you make some nice pieces.
I love Fishing. Fishing is actually a great hobby. I have only been interested in it for the past four years and it is quite addicting. I have made some interesting observations about fishing. It knows no class boundaries. The rich and the poor love to fish.
