The older and more "professional" I've gotten, the less time I have to just sort of float around and think about stuff. In school, and all the way through college in Finland, I used to just drive out, ditch the bike and walk into the forest, or find a secluded spot on the beach or wherever, and sit and listen to the wind and waves and smell the air and relax and let my thoughts wander. Alas, there are few places I've found here that are really suitable for that, or as easily reached.
