Restless relaxation

Ever wonder how your fellow entrepreneurs use their free time? We asked a handful of local business owners how they relax.

“I guess I don’t relax. Does anybody relax? If you mean recreation, for me, it’s auto racing.”

J. David Kaltenbach, president

Kaltenbach Corp.

Akron

“To relax, I’ve been going flying. When you’re up there with no cell phone, pager, instant messaging, e-mail, etc., it’s more peaceful than anyplace I’ve found on the ground.”

Karen Brown, president

“My favorite way to relax is biking on the Towpath early in the morning. I love the sights, smells and sounds of nature, and especially the feel of the wind on my face. The best spot for biking is the fast, downhill stretch just past Peninsula.”

Laurie Zuckerman, president

Zuckerman Consulting Group Inc.

Akron

“My favorite way to relax is to do landscaping around my home, keeping my lawn as thick and green as I can, planting perennials and annuals, and keeping a tiny garden — five tomato plants and five bean plants.”

Thomas E. Tulodzieski, president

KeyBank/Akron District

“Relax! We’re in the Internet business. If we relax, we’re dead. Then again, that could be the ultimate form of relaxation.”
