Well, I did it. I beat the lawn _this year_. I got rid of both lawns; dug 
them up, threw them away (front and back yard, and replaced the lawns with 
rocks and drought-proof plants (and a pool). Now, I should have more time 
for paddling, and, I'm in the good books with Wavelength for not using 
chemicals anymore; as well, I can save on water costs -- which will help 
save for a kayak for my 10-year old who wants to paddle.

What have you done in your life to make more time for paddling --other than 
become a recreational map producer who gets to paddle around all day "doing 
work!" :-)
