Leisure activities are obligations you created for yourself. Bowling on Tuesday nights, golf scrambles on Saturdays, seeing your favorite bands/concerts/plays/musicals — all your choice.
So, “I’m busy playing golf that day,” is not really true. “I’m choosing to golf,” is more appropriate.
All this said, the question on this post could be, “Who has grown bored since moving to TV?”
I heard once, many moons ago, this phrase: If you’re bored, you’re boring.
My two cents.
