You know all those shots/videos of former President Reagan and current President Bush clearing brush on their respective ranches? You know, they’re clearing brush just to relax, take their minds off of work and so on.

OK.

I’m out in the backyard doing the same right now. Not exactly brush, but tree limbs, trimming/removing bushes and so on.

It’s not fun.

It’s not relaxing.

I don’t want to do it anymore!

On the other hand, Bush or Reagan probably wouldn’t understand the therapeutic powers of crafting a really fast Perl parser…
