All I long for, all I have longed for for years is to retire (prior to wanting to retire, my ambition was to play). Given a chance not to work, I would take it. However, this is not because of laziness or some inherent trait of sloth. Rather it is because I want to pursue my own interests and ideas; I want to do my own thing. One of the saddest things I find in talking with people about not working (aside from obvious disapproval) is that they like working, they would get bored not working, after all, there is only so much TV one can watch. Hmmm ... a pretty sad comment I think. I have a mind full of ideas. There are lots of things which grab my interest, which distract me as I journey through life. Finding what I want to do is hard., because every week I can have a new thing I want to pursue. Some might argue that I am not disciplined. Definitely, I am a poor finisher - great starter, but lousy finisher. I believe I have found what my ideal job would be: owning and running an incubato

barbara: I do neither either. I did try a Chai Tea two weeks back or so. I was less then overwhelmed.
esther: why stop the Tai Chi? I just like the sound of the question. There is a certain melody to it. I wish I could remember what the term is for the play of exchanging sounds (at least, I think there is a word for it. It is similar to chiasmus).
Here's a recipe from scratch:
*1 1/2 cups of water
*1 1/2 inch stick of cinnamon
*8 cardamom pods
*1/4 inch fresh ginger root (sliced thin)
*2/3 cup of milk
6 teaspoons sugar
*3 teaspoons of Darjeeling Tea leaves
Place water, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and ginger in a pot and bring to a boil.
Cover and lower heat to low setting and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add milk and sugar and again bring to simmer.
Next, add the tea leaves, remove from heat and cover.
(I like it with honey.)

I'm not sure of the following term is correct, but i think it could be a case of "assonance" ~ which does involve repetition of vowel sounds.
Thanks for the great brain spack-attack nonetheless, i really enjoyed it.
sweetiepie: it looks like we could get a little Chai Tea sitting circle going.
aka R'acquel: It was not really for answering. It was just for the sound. I had to look up assonance, that deals with vowels. However, there is consonance which is for consonants. Perhaps it is chiasmic consonance?
esther: good.
MOI: I think it is the sort of play on words that kids like. Mind you, I am pretty sure most kids are not up on either.
