4.0 - Play - Baseline

For me, play is all about my free time and how I use it. Most of my free time is used doing nothing in particular. Although it is obviously—to me anyway—not a popular use of my time, I like it. Whether it's randomly surfing the 'net, watching TV, sorting through a pile of "stuff," or just sitting down enjoying being in my house, it is good and it makes me happy.

Because doing nothing-in-particular isn't popular, most of my free time comes out of my sleep. Everyone else goes to bed; I stay up and enjoy a quiet house. Three hours of free time means only four hours of sleep. It's worth it. No contest.

Sometimes I watch an old science fiction movie. Sometimes I read. Sometimes I watch TV. Usually I'm on the 'net: eBay, Monster, email, Usenet. Not often enough I exercise. Usually I have ice cream. Always I do what currently interests me most.

Usually that's...well...nothing in particular.

This is my baseline. Free time is important. Pastimes to follow...

How do you stay awake? I'd be face down on my desk even with one diet coke per hour. In any case, I am really enjoying the style of your blog. I am sorry to say I have nothing in the job market for you, but you have my prayers.
