Hey!, I resemble that, LOL. That is a very excellent comment. At the end of the day, I don't want to spend my time hiking in the woods or pulling weeds in the garden. It's a delicate balance. I still find some enjoyment in hunting,fishing, and gardening, but don't need those things as a release mechanism from the toils of family, job, and life. And, some people look bewildered when I tell them I am fascinated and enjoy an occasional adventure in a large city (opposite of my lifestyle). Go figure. I suppose in a perfect world one would find work that fulfills both the emotional and monetary needs, while providing time and funds to pursue FUN also.
Thank you for that excellent counterpoint to my post.
