Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler The little things in life.....

Point of order: appreciating good sitcom writing and acting is also high on my list of favorites things.

Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, 30 Rock, and The Office top the list. Great stuff.

After the most hectic day at work, just a few minutes sitting and staring out at the water does it for me. Works best when it's warm enough to sit outside on the deck. Most often you can hear the waves crashing in on the island and sandbar on the opposing side of the bay. I also have to admit a bit of a silly addiction to the sound of seagulls as I have lived by the water almost my entire life.

If that doesn't work, I head out on said water with the kayak. Guaranteed to relax or exhilarate, depending on the wind and waves. Either way, you forget about work.

Nice to see so many dog references. That certainly would have topped my list as well and hopefully will do so again someday.

When I come from work and the kids, wife, and dog are out back, the one who's (visibly) happiest to see me back is the dog. She starts yelping and wiggling with joy. Then if my wife releases her, she does a mad dash to wherever I'm standing and alternately leans against my legs and spins around as I try to scruffle her.

One of my favorite ways to be welcomed home.



(In the presence of children, anyway.)

Hearing stories from people I care about.

Any time I get to do anything fun with my kids. We had a basement campout a couple of weeks ago and it was a blast.

That looks like fun, Steve!

Pac Man AND camping....we have a winner!

I take great pride and pleasure doing anything with my family, for instance went on a short bike ride around tke community tonight and watched my youngest learn how to switch the gears and squeeze the brakes on his 'new' bike. The bike is a hand-me down from his older brother which he has finally grown into. He has a constant smile on his face when he is riding.
