a few of my favorite pastimes

I'll just list 5.

# riding to Glendale mall on my bike and buying the Economist magazine. Later that night jumping in the garden tub and reading the Economist.

# looking up facts on Wikipedia. What is the population of Franklin County Indiana? When was the Dan Ryan expressway built? Who coined the phrase "the 5th column"

# listening to music on the computer. Has the stereo system become obsolete?

# reading a good book. Unfortunately I have trouble finishing a book once started.

# talking Rex on a walk when the temperature is below 40 and Orion is in the night sky.

ok, I'll add a 6th.

# playing Snood on the computer and listening to "Everybody's got to learn sometime" by the Korgis. ... it will astound you.
