Diversions

Time flies when you're having fun.

Today I got a haircut from Morgan. She does a great job, so I was pleased to get her again. I tend to get myself shorn about every three or four months, whether I need it or not.

It's about two in the afternoon, and she looks longingly at the clock and asks, "Why isn't it 5 o'clock yet?" She said the day was taking forever, so I told her she wasn't having fun. After having my head tilted this way and that, I asked what she did for fun.

"I'm either working or taking care of the kids. I don't have time for fun."

Now, that's just wrong! What's the point of life if you don't get to enjoy it?

When I'm not working, here are some of the things I like to do:

* When Connie's in the shower or at the gym, I practice the doumbek and didgeridoo.

* I fly my E-flite Blade CX2 electric RC helicopter around the living room.

* I read web sites and blogs and leave comments.

* I'm currently re-reading Story, by Robert McKee, one of the best books on how to tell a great story. I want to start working on my novel again.

* I read mysteries and non-fiction and other books.

* We go hiking, exploring or to movies.

* I take pictures.

* We rent and watch movies.

I have to admit, life's been good to us. We've been lucky, and we've made some good choices. What do you do in your "spare time"?
