I don't like cold long winters. I live in the north.  I'd rather swim with Manta Rays where it's warm. I am a lawyer. I practice general law.  I wish I worked at the Smithsonian. I like to go boating.   I enjoy watching television.
I watch television shows that are similar to CSI. I prefer Criminal Minds. I stay warm in the winter by cooking up a storm. I am a teacher. I like to go boating and biking. I like to do anything outdoors or on the water.
I was busy this past week helping clients make their wills. That sounds both depressing and rewarding.  I was busy making lesson plans about health and exercise. I find it rewarding to help people make sure their assets will be well used after they're no longer here. Since I practice general law I really don't deal with wills too much. What sort of exercise lessons are you teaching? I am trying to teach my third graders that even when it is winter they can get exercise.  I teach them about fun things they can do in the snow or indoors. Oh that's fun! You know how much I hate the winters. I'd love to be more active during these long winters but I only like summer sports. Perhaps you can incorporate your love of television into exercise.  Maybe you can get an exercise bike or treadmill and put it in front of the tv.  I watch Criminal Minds while I run a few miles. I've done that at the gym ocassionaly and it is kind of fun. But I guess you just can't do things like swimming in the ocean with manta rays in front of the TV. It just never can feel real enough for me. That is true.  Have you thought about moving your practice to Florida? I've fantasized about it but it just doesn't seem practical having to get licensed down there and then finding new clients. Plus I don't want to abandon my clients here so i'd have to maintain my this license as well. Good point.  Maybe you can move after retirement.  There certainly aren't any manta rays in the north, so if you must travel a lot. Yes, any vacation I always rent a boat and sail around for a while. It's so relaxing. I do go to tons of aquariums so I can feel some connection to the ocean even in this climate. Looking into retirement homes down there does sound like a great idea! I think if I move to a warmer climate, I would stop cooking as much in the winter and it is something I really enjoy doing.
