I saw this quote today and it made me laugh, I suspect it rings true for many.
“Man is so made that he can only find relaxation from one kind of labor by taking up another.”

A Maynard G. Krebs reference! I love it, daddio.
>find relaxation from one kind of labor by taking up another."
In my case my partner would laugh out loud at that. I have spent the holidays sitting on the couch eating chocolates and typing on this lap top. Despite the complete lack of labor involved in my recent occupation I do feel quite relaxed.
I always was a bit backward.
I am out of chocolates : (
Guess it is time to head for the shop and take up "labor" again and see just how relaxed I can get.
To the shop me hardies !

Since when is a good cigar and a couple of fingers of Maker's Mark anything like labor? Oh, sorry. I failed to consider that someone with that name probably was unfamiliar with bourbon. Nevermind.

If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is there to cut it up and make something with it . . . what a waste!
