When it's time to kick back
28 Apr 2003 by DS
When it’s time to relax, where do you go and what do you do?
In the evenings, I like to retreat to my backyard chimenea with a glass of wine or bourbon and a couple of premium cigars, and watch the heavens. Last night: seven satellites and one shooting star.

Point of Clarification: For those of you who live in big cities, stars are these things up in the sky, really high up, that look like little points of light against the blackish-blue backdrop of Space.

Oh; I didn't mention that I saw the coveted "Iridium Flash" ... or something similar. Lasted about three seconds.

Nothing melts the stress away like a few hours on Isle Delfino

I usually smoke a bowl and get down with a package of hydrox cookies.

In Chicago: The Division Street Russian & Turkish Baths. No happy ending.

Lately, I've been visiting a disc golf course near my house after work. An hour of chasing my discs through the woods is a great stress reliever. it probably helps that I leave my cell phone in the car too.

working out is relaxing to me. my brain doesn't need to do anything, and afterwards it feels even more relaxed (and more importantly, less stressed).

I get in the car and drive. Done it for years. (A benefit of living where there's not a ton of traffic I guess.) Something about the tires on the road makes me relax. Now I usually head out to the lake, pull over for a few minutes and just breathe. (Use to light up a cigarette, but now I just breathe.) No matter how stressed I am, a few minutes in the car with the right song on the stereo and the tension slips away.

Walking around looking at people...... inspires new ideas and new ideas always makes me forget the old ones which I'm stressed about (for a little while at least).
