Pretty Cool stuff. I have a motto...Go hard or go home.  One more that I go by..."work to live, don't live to work."  In other words...I work my butt off so that I can live the life that I want.  In my free time, I like to hang with my family...I like to hang with my four children.  I like to have a few weekend beers.  I like Disc Golf...take a look at this shot....

www.discgolftv.com/dgtv/196/2/0  or go to http://www.pdga.com/ to find out more about this incredible sport.

 

My favorite thing to do away from the family is going to the Arctic Circle with my dad and brothers fishing.  They drop you off on an Island with no shack, no house, no hut....Just 3 tents, 3 boats and Muskox, Caribou and God's Country.  Fish for arctic grayling and lake trout.  Sun doesn't set!  Just a week with God, his nature and your family.  What more can you ask for????

 What do you like to do with your true...TRUE....TRUE AND REAL FREE TIME...TO GET AWAY.  SHARE YOUR STORY.

Nice Post... I like to explore new parts of NYC and go to different and new restaurants with my husband.  I like to play with my four yorkies and take them for walks. I like to workout.  I like to read a good book and eat some ben & jerry's coffee heath bar cruch.  I like to take long drives into the country.  I like to know that it's my time to do I want because I deserve it!

Lissette...You know I'm not into a lot of what you are interested in.  I am into some of the stuff....long drives...working out.  Forget the dogs....But it's so cool how God has made us.  What I love about your post is that "you know that it's your time to do what you want because you deserve it."  Very much admiration....I guess what's most important is that you, me, we....all live life the way we and God wants it lived.  Thanks a ton for sharing L!

By the way...I'm an attorney as well.  Great post

Larry,

Sounds like you have a good, full life! Thats important. I am still working on getting some down time. Right now its being here on Active Rain!  But its starting to feel like work! Mostly we (my husband and I) go sailing off the coast of Rhode Island to the Islands. My favorite things are painting and reading, but haven't had much time for that lately. Summers coming though I'll have a lot more outdoor time with the family. Nice post and made me think...I need some down time!!! That disc golfing sounds interesting.

Karen....outdoor time with the family is the best.  Sailing off the coast would be a new adventure for me.  Actually, any type of sailing would be a fun new experience for me as well.  Thanks...

WOW, that is a great fish.
Ours doesnt compare to the one you caught.
Wife's brother caught this one at our hiding place.
Looked like a submarine coming out of the water. Boy do they fight.
