Drugs. 

Sleep really has a huge effect on me.  I would have to say that's high on the list.

Others:

*  A little quiet time every day to think, or not think, where I don't have to do anything but sit.
*  Physical activity (duh)
*  A little social time every day with others
*  Problem-solving or pattern-fitting games or challenges (e.g., Scrabble)

So what then do we have?

Sleep/activity paired with solo time/people time.  So in one word, I guess it came be summed up as such:  balance.

1. Music

2. Fine Wine

3. Women

All three of these combined preferably  

fine wine serge? weren't you born in the 90s?

I think Serge defines fine wine as any wine that isn't poured from a box.

I'm with Mike on this one. As long as I get enough sleep and exercise I am pretty happy.

My understanding of fine wine is a wine that makes the lady think that I actually know what the hell I'm talking about in the field of oenology and is strong enough to do the job. (And I was born in 88, thank you.)

I guess it's still beat up on Serge month. Serge-maybe it should more correctly be stated as wine and fine women? I go to work to rest. I sleep more and better when I'm undisturbed by the kids. Also, per Mike's list: *  A little quiet time every day to think, or not think, where I don't have to do anything but sit. - sitting for hours staring at clouds or the ground. *  Physical activity (duh) - running through airport terminals, lifting my bags. *  A little social time every day with others - mixing it up with the other crew members. *  Problem-solving or pattern-fitting games or challenges (e.g., Scrabble) - asking myself "where is that dammned airport?"

Hi, I'm Courtland and I train with Crossfit Invictus in San Diego. Coming up for the week to Alameda for a family visit, so I hope to stop in at CFO and train some. 

Re post: That very sign was on display in small London restaurant where I had lunch in September. It was intriguing enough for me to photograph. Great article.
