  • I would play tennis in the morning, before it got too hot, followed by some gardening. After getting cleaned up, we (my wife and kids) would visit my 99-year-old aunt (who is like a second mother to me) in the nursing home and sit in the sun with her for a while and talk. Then we’d head for a marina to have dinner.

  • Take an early morning bike ride around the neighborhood, come home, enjoy a fresh pot of coffee on my patio and enjoy the view. What more could I ask for?

  • Well that’s an easy one. I’d go out and ruin a perfectly good afternoon with a round of golf!

Housework! There is always something to do around the house. Gardening, laundry, cook something in the crockpot for dinner, etc. In the afternoon, catch up on the talk shows like Ellen and The Doctors and go through all my catalogs that come in the mail that I never have time to enjoy. Nothing wrong with a little couch-potato time after a morning of hard work :)
