Backpacking into the mountains where there are no electronic gadgets and even the cell phones don't work.

I watch TV, read science fiction, drink beer with my friends and cook.

Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, For you are crunchy, and good with mustard.

By playing guitar... If I'm in a mellow mood, it's finger-picking on my Martin. If I'm stressed or otherwise need to let it out, it's shredding on my Les Paul with my Mesa Boogie's gain way up.

After my wife cooks dinner and we eat, I do the dishes. Thats pretty mindless work for me and helps keep me active.
