occasionally witty things will show up here...

List five things you enjoy, even when no one around you wants to go out and play. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? Make a list, post it to your journal, and then tag five friends and ask them to post it to theirs. (leaving off obvious answers like “friends”, “family” and “sex”.)

The Waterfront: unfortunately this one is not really available now, but walking the riverbanks last year in Paris and Jack London Square in Oakland often saved my mind.

Drawing: silly little sketches that lead nowhere, odd schematics, tiny tiny houses.

Very long walks, preferably with a camera.

Washing the dishes: I used to hate this, still do when someone is expecting me to do it, but if I’m alone, with NPR on the radio...

I sing old gospel songs
