Renewal:
"Leisure is only possible to a man who is at one with himself and also
with the world." Piper
My hobbies
include running, swimming, bicycling, downhill and cross-country
skiing,
hiking, alpine mountain climbing.
After
my regimen of writing 2,000 a day, words and reading, I also go to
concerts,
movies and dabble at my hobby of collecting old photographs and antique
stereo cards. My wife and I also collect penguins (not real ones) and
go
to neighborhood yard sales.
Or I waste time (It really isn't a waste of time.) on the world on the
Internet.
