Disengage

I need some time where my mind is not engaged on some cognitive task.  It's not productive for me to always be productive.  As as ex-salesman - which doesn't sound as cool as ex-Navy Seal - I was an early adopter of email and car phones, the precursor to the ubiquitous cell phone.  I've been careful not to let them run wild in my head.  My brain needs time to breather, to exhale and stretch it's wings, like a hawk floating upward on a thermal air current.  When I tak it out of gear and let it idle for a few minutes good things happen.
