When I get home from work I load my pipe with my favorite tobacco and I put my minidisc player on. I have a compilation that fits that mood. I do that with music, I like to complile playlists in relation to my mood. This list is called "women sing," it consists of Janis Joplin, Kathrine Whalen, Nora Jones, and none other than Billy Holiday. I sit on my fifteenth floor balcony and remember I am glad to be alive.
How do you relax, and what do you listen to?

I will have to send you a copy of Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. Thanks to your brother going to a crazy weekend "hippie fest," he brought it back and it grew on me. The last 2 songs rock and some sound a little spiritual. The last 2 songs are called "nothing bu the water" or something like that. I believe it's about baptism. She says she tried her hand at the bible and prayer, but nothing but the water will bring her soul to bear. It is AWESOME! I felt really in the spirit one day and felt the best I have ever felt in my life. I like the song because I know that I still have not been "properly baptized." there is only one person I trust to do that, and that's my dear brother in law.
miss ya!

I really like to listen to Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, and especially Joe Pass. My new favorite place to relax is at my church under the pavilion we built. Most afternoons, if you're there and patient enough, you can see a mother deer with her two baby deer go walking by, looking for food. There's a constant breeze under there, and it's a nice place to pray and think. The last couple of Wednesday nights, I've not come home to Searcy in the afternoon, but have stayed out in Rose Bud. It's given me time to sit out there and enjoy nature a bit. Very nice.
Hiking, star gazing, looking in my wife's eyes.
When I can't do that: reading, writing, go to the game.
When I can't do that ... I'm out of luck.
Shalom,

I relax by taking a drive, windows down and The Who blasting on the car stereo. How bout' a lil Young Man Blues!
Especially three albums by YES: The Yes Album, Fragile, and And You and I, which ends with Siberian Khatru. Also, I wish I had an Emerson, Lake, and Palmer album I had on cassette and used to fall asleep to when I was in high school. There was a song called Iconoclast, but I don't remember much else about the album. Smoked cigars a couple of times. Messed up my taste buds so I quit.
Walking or jogging with wife is great. We do that about once a week if we can.
