I typically wake around 6 am and check the pre-market quotes while in bed. Then I drink coffee and walk my daughter to her public elementary school where there are only 14 kids in the class in addition to 2 full-time paid assistants. So that's 3 paid adults for just 14 kids. I'm not kidding! And that's a public school in California.
Then lately I've been going on a two hour walk (foot surgery two years ago worked out). I get back from that walk and go swimming for a half hour (one thing we splurge on is we keep the pool heated to 90 -- but some of that is solar heating).
Then I walk the dogs. Or sometimes I go for a walk with my wife on the beach (she is usually doing her ceramics hobby in her studio).
If I don't go for my two hour walk, I'll be the one driving my son to his pre-school. It's about 100 yards from the beach, so I'll leave the car in his school parking lot and go walk the beach, see the pelicans, watch the surfers (his pre-school is basically my parking spot for Hammond's Beach).
I go on fishing trips (flyfishing). I've taken horse riding lessons -- we went for a trail ride last night in Death Valley (awesome!).
For my 40th birthday my wife is giving me surfing lessons -- so perhaps less watching the surfers from now on and I'll be doing more surfing.
Death Valley is hot! Man, it was like 98 degrees yesterday. It's bizarre -- this is winter!
