Relaxation, Part II


Last night was another glorious evening of relaxation! After shoveling for what felt like the 20th time, I settled into my favorite chair, with a roaring log in the fireplace, the Christmas tree lights on, lit a Montecristo Series C cigar (great smoke), and enjoyed a steaming hot cup of coffee with peppermint mocha creamer. Ahhhhhh!

- Bertrand Russell

"This art of resting the mind and the power of dismissing from it all care and worry is probably one of the secrets of energy in our great men."
- Captain J.A. Hadfield

"Acquire inner peace and a multitude will find their salvation near you."

G - Thanks!

H - Yes, a big, fake tree!
Come over any time you guys want.

A - If they saw the dust bunnies and cob-webs in the corners, a magazine wouldn't want it in their pages!
What I think about while relaxing really depends on my mood - that night I was very thankful for a warm fire, a great cigar, good coffee (thanks Abs), and Christmas time.
