On a more personal level, I attempt to retain a portion of my sanity through various extracurricular activities. A few of my favorite activities include refining my sense of balance and gaining a greater insight into the body's inherent healing capacity while on a snowboard or rollerblades. On occasion I satisfy my creative side by writing poetry and performing home improvement projects just before having to call 911. As for hobbies, since I can't keep a plant alive to save my life, the purchase of a new 150 gallon aquarium has allowed me to try my hand at living creatures. Stay tuned to how it goes...
