Nancy Newark - Partner at Burns & Levinson LLP
"I take my two dogs to Hale Reservation and go for a long, hilly walk.  Many nights I meet a group of friends to walk. With my two dogs, in the woods and with lots of peace and quiet, except for the sounds of the dogs playing, I am able to clear my mind and unwind." 

Mike Giaimo - Partner at Robinson & Cole LLP
"A long day means less traffic on the ride home, which helps me unwind quicker while I listen to something ridiculous on the radio, like political talk shows or recent Red Sox games.   At home, I may catch my youngest daughter before she falls asleep and read Harry Potter with her."  

Edward S. Cheng - of Counsel at Sherin and Lodgen LLP
"I usually unwind from the stress of work in the early morning. I play tennis and swim several times a week. With tennis, I can take out my frustrations by hitting the ball harder.  With swimming, I can relax in the pool and clear my head.  The sports are a good one-two punch against stress. During soccer season on Saturday mornings, I have the treat of lounging on my folding chair on the sidelines, watching my daughter play and enjoying the morning sun.  Now that is the guaranteed cure for a long week at work."

Lynne Riley - Altman Riley Esher LLP
"My youngest is a snuggler, so if I don’t fall asleep, I read fiction… currently The Last Days of Dogtown by Anita Diamant, next in pile John Irving’s Until I Find You (gargantuan so may take rest of year). Tuesday nights I stay up late and watch Boston Legal."

Charles Mokriski - Partner at Day, Berry & Howard LLP
"I first uncork a bottle of red wine--anything but merlot.  Next, I put frozen chicken stock in a pot over a low flame, and slip a tape of Verdi's Nabucco into our CD player, as I mince and sauté a small carrot and half a small onion in butter and olive oil. Then, in goes arborio rice, a splash of white wine, and after a minute, boiling stock, a ladle at a time so that it evaporates rapidly.  I end with thinly sliced sautéed broccoli stems and a half cup of grated Parmesan. I refill my glass, pour one for my wife, and we dig into the risotto."
