This is going to make me sound like a nerd or geek but I have spent the last two days playing computer games - how sad is that? Well for me not that sad at all. I have enveloped myself in Age of Empires (AOE). I am not claiming I am a great gamer but rather someone who enjoys the destruction that the game allows me wrought vengeance on unfortunate colonies that will not do my bidding. I enjoy stacking the odds in my favour and then '...cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war...' I am sure a psycho-analysts would have a field day. This really is shock and awe stuff and it is great fun.
On a more serious note I think it is important to find something to take your mind off your other worries. For me it is AOE and long may it be so.
