When I feel the stress coming on, either from work or personal issues, I have to force myself to do something fun I haven't done in a while.
•Hike (Drive a half hour to the gorge or 10 minutes to the wildwood trail. An hour up and down a quiet trail will do wonders for the psyche)
•Soak at the Kennedy School hot tub
•911 is usually ready for a drive, Bonneville dam and back on the Washington side only takes a little more than an hour
•Putter around the house. Recently spent an hour wiping down my toolboxes. It gave me garage ideas.
•This afternoon, I spent an hour after work chasing squeaks and tuning up the front brake of my commuter bike.
• Read, or watch a movie.
Or, if the planets line up properly, there's always the old standby;
