Ideas? See recent 'Stoned Profesor' thread...

Kidding aside, I usually find that a good run clears my head and relaxes me at the same time.

Nothing

When I was younger, the answer was nothing, meaning I rarely took the time to relax. Now, the answer is nothing, meaning doing nothing at all is the most relaxing thing I can think of.

Most of the hobbies I have had end up being too stressful, because I get so intense and involved in them that they cease to be relaxing anymore.

Good luck in your quest for relaxation.

Thanks, Black

Okay, you reminded me there ARE a few things that are relaxing.

Walking with my girl friend and good sex. THAT's relaxing. Intense, but relaxing. I guess it's been too long if I forgot to mention that the first time. . .

I retreat to the dungeon where I practice Yoga and if it's been a particularly difficult week, I'll smoke a beer.

I enjoy shooting military surplus rifles, WW I and WW II era blued steel and walnut bolt guns, none of this black plastic AK-crap.
Mee too. I have four K98's and a bunch of Yugo's. Lots of fun, if your shoulder can stand it. I use a "Past" pad on my shoulder. Works wonders for diminshing recoil. Best part of it for me is my girlfriend is getting pretty good at shooting Mausers as well.
