The word of the day for April 18, 2008 is "recreation" — noun : refreshment of strength and spirits after work; also : a means of refreshment or diversion : HOBBY[2].
I stopped Vali in the hallway to ask if he were going to the Renaissance Festival this weekend. He told me no, or at least not on Saturday as he would be flying. The weather predictions sound really good, and a plane is available. He has been piloting for a year now. It sounds like he will enjoy himself.
Not that I would never take up aviating, but the sport seems a tad dangerous to me. I always liked the story my sister tells about her husband. He told her he was thinking of buying a motorcycle. She thought about that for a minute and said that she might take flying lessons. That was the end of both conversations as far as I know.
Our quote for the day is from Bob Hope (b. 1903), U.S. comedian. quoted in Reader’s Digest (Pleasantville, N.Y., Oct. 1958):
If you watch a game, it’s fun. If you play it, it’s recreation. If you work at it, it’s golf.

Enjoyed the short two way conversation lol ,Bob Hope was unique ....love Jan xx
Opening my email and responding to journals is my recreation ... it 're-creates' positive feelings and allows me to mentally exercise through the words of others ..!
