I've got my nose to the grindstone at work, that's all right but I need to keep my sanity with some relaxation and adventure. I discovered kayaking a few years ago and I am really hooked- anything from a lazy evening out on the water to an expedition! This is kind of the down time for paddling, but it's great for hiking - without any bugs! I think finding someone to hang out with around town, cook some delicious food and explore new things with would be an adventure too!

Predicting the weather. I foresaw a tremendous blizzard this year, so I bought a snow blower.. It's pretty powerful, but I didn't think I'd be able to blow it all the way to Europe!

I like to read nonfiction mostly, especially about science or consciousness, not so much history or biography. I'm trying to get in some more fiction and classics but I'm mostly just an information sponge. I like music so much I can't believe I haven't broken down and learn to play an instrument.. it's hard to choose, but it's gotta have a good beat, so maybe drums- one of these days. I'm supposed to get food in this category too? Simple and fresh - how can you beat a summer tomato?
