....or (lately) listen to one of Bill Bryson's books on tape (SD card, in my case... whatever).
I read also. Everywhere. I always have books, magazines, or newspaper in my car. My back seat looks like the inside of a Boston Public Library bookdrop. On road trips I enjoy the "Great Courses" DVDs or CDs. I listen to music. NPR is one of my best friends.

I'm a people watcher. My Sig other and I were recently stuck waiting for a meeting on a university campus and were noticing how the students (especially the coeds) seem to be noticeably "heftier" now than when we were in school. He in the mid '80s and I in the mid '90s. Any other older TFPers notice that trend? Maybe just my imagination. Not wanting to threadjack.
