Not much actually. I might have it on while working on projects but I don't pay much attention to it. It's usually a ballgame that my sons are watching.

I usually watch the 11:00 pm news when I go to bed. Many nights I miss it though because I'm busy working on projects.

Wasting time with TV has never been much of an issue for me.

I usually work on projects.

An RDO? Is that one of the new e-readers? No.

Nope. I usually only read a few sections from Sunday's paper and often not even that.

Bus. And I usually work on projects while riding. I've got over 600 e-mails in my inbox because I've been devoting most of my time to project work. (No Gordon. Your last e-mail is *not* languishing in there somewhere. *g*)

Not an issue. Seldom go there.

Not really. Well, I do devote several hours a week to various activities with my church. That's not something I'm willing to cut out though because to me, that's as essential as getting the income streams flowing.

I do agree with this in general but I would be surprised to find an additional two hours a day in my case.
