I like to be lazy quite a lot. So it very often needs my wife to give me a kick in order to go out and do something funny, relaxing, interesting etc.

Most of the time I'm trying to motivate 3 of our 4 kids to do more for school but that's a hard job, believe me!

BTW, these are some of the places I've (or we've) been to:
