Ah, the end of the day.

I had a long day taking care of the "first of the month" errands and bills. I was up at 5 this morning and hopped on the bus at 6 - I don't drive and the bus costs only 25 cents one way. I arrived back at home at around 5 this evening completely exhausted.. I had visited 11 businesses, 3 banks, 9 bus transfers, and must have walked 11 miles - kilted the entire time, Seattle is a big place

One thing I have to look forward to at the end of a busy day is Oregon Chai. I settle down with a steaming cup of chai and some shortbread cookies.. makes even the busiest day worthwhile.

If you haven't tried Oregon Chai, I invite you to do so. Many coffee huts/shops carry it but I buy it in cartons at my local market.

What do you do to unwind at the end of your busiest days?

I usually have some honey and oatmeal after a busy day... That's about it.

Believe it or not, that, and a slice of dry toast, is my breakfast.

That's ok, I'm bakward. For breakfast, I usually eat chopped steak and rice, maybe even just steak. It's usually breakfast for lunch too.

For me, get home, hello to wife and kids, nice big glass of iced tea, throw the ball for our two border collies, perhapse a beer or scotch later.

BTW has anyone tried a beer named "Old Peculiar"?

int: It is a new find of mine, and is pretty good stuff, like it as much as my Bass or Beamish.

I like to sit back with a very heavly cased tobacco, like apple or rose in my Syrian Chiller (hookah) & a glass of Chard.

I make a cup of tea, put on Cé (a local Irish band), and do some light reading.

int: A liter-sized Black and Tan does it for me

have a beer or two (maybe more depending on the day), lay back on my couch close my eyes and take a nap.

I usually work out for a while and then sit down with a good book and a nice whisky.

As far as tea goes chai type tea goes, I like a home-made Yogi-Yogi Tchai. Absolutely lovely and it's great in winter.
