I have a bird feeder in the back yard, and a flower and herb garden. I sit out there and read and sometimes weed the garden. Just finished one of the latest from Bernard Cornwell, the best historical fiction writer ever. My mom gave me a subscription of The Economist for Christmas, so I'm feelin' pretty damn worldly now. Currently - The last Harry Potter book. Next up: Christopher Hitchens' God Is Not Great. Get a lot of windshield time at work, and my day often starts as early as 2 or 3 am - no traffic - 1 or 2 hours, so a cigar is good then too.
