My laptop is on my dining room table.
Behind me I have a veranda where I feed the birds. Once in a while I turn my head when I hear an interesting bird call.
Near by on the couch is my banjo. So when I am not on the computer I can easily pick it up and play a few tunes.
I tend to not take my computer along with me when I travel. I figure I am on it enough when I am at home and the break away makes me appreciate it more when I return.
