In praise of recess

From a Seattle Times article about new Husky special teams coach Brian White:

White has already caught the notice of observers for his energetic pacing around practice, usually wearing shorts. He says he feels lucky to be a coach, like it's "an extension of third-grade recess."

He said, "Recess was always my favorite period of grammar school, so to be able to continue it is good."

I feel much the same way about being a professor.
