But like I said, I'm not as crazy-active as some out there. (You know who you are! )

Maybe us folks who spend a considerable amount of time at home can post some thoughts so we can see what others do. It's possible some folks could discover something new and interesting. Let's share and see what happens. Here are a few of my home activities...

* I ride my bicycle almost every day. I also do some simple home exercise like pushups, crunches and such;
* I dabble in rhythm guitar. Rhythm keeps it fairly simple so a non rock start like me can enjoy it and get some satisfaction;
* We have a 7 month old puppy now, so it's very easy to spend time having fun with him;
* I read quite a bit;
* I meditate, not in a religious sense, but simple mindfulness meditation focusing on the breath;
* I video game, probably a little more than many of you. I was an early adopter and it's stuck with me to a degree. Of course some word, card, and similar games on my phone, but also some PC and console games;
* Watch video. Not a lot actually. Movies infrequently. TV shows a bit more;
* I keep a journal. Frequency of entries varies a lot, but it's very fun to look back on now and then.

Well? How about you folks? Let's share so we can discover our next great at home activity!
So is the inside of your house built in a circle or do you need to keep stopping to turn your bike around?

We we are at the house I will sit in my chair in one of 2 rooms with my iPad and phone while the tv is on, Chicago Fire on Tuesday, Blue Bloods on Wednesday and Chicago Fire on Thursday. On the other days it varies with Maine Cabin Masters, Beach Front Bargain hunt, Fixer Upper, MASH, Reba, Walker Texas Ranger among other shows.

Other things is weeding, cleaning, cooking.

We are our mostly riding in the golf cart, at the squares for music, eating out and playing a very little golf if I am healthy enough when we are down.
