**Great ways to pass the time**

Acing an important test  
Biting into a delicious slice of pizza  
Cats-- need I say more?  
Dancing  
Exploring  
Fishing  
Grooving to 70s rock and roll  
Having sex  
Intermittent exercise  
Jumping out of airplanes  
Knowledge-gathering  
Laughing at a good joke  
Making love in the green grass behind the stadium  
Noshing whilst sitting under covers and reading a good book  
Organizing your record albums autobiographically  
Pecan gathering  
Quizzing your friends on birds they have seen.  
Reading a good book  
Singing around a campfire with friends  
Traveling  
Under the umbrella on a rainy day with my true love

(Still in play)
