We all understood the healing powers of the written word.

Reading Secret Son by Ms. Laila Lailami right now. She's such a good writer, I swear. Last week I read: Dave Reidy's Captive Audience (funny), Kulie Metz's Perfection (shocking), and James Frey's Bright Shiny Morning, which was very, very looong.

Reading is way better for your brain than the internet.

Other things that are better: taking a bike ride, cooking a nice dinner, and doing a series of simple, but strategic stretches designed to open your shoulders.
