Well I admire your willpower regarding television. I learned that I cannot get any work done with the television on. I work on my laptop sitting on the couch in the living room. For me, my backdrop is music. I do not like being in a completely quiet room. I sprung for a second XM Radio/hone receiver setup, which I listen to constantly now... although their service is slowly turning me into a showtunes queen. (anyone noticed?)

I suggest making your office more confortable so you will want to use it more. My XM receiver in my televisionless living room worked wonders. And then you can keep your well earned home office deduction, amongst other things.

An exercize room??? That would be interesting. I'd like to see what kind of workout schedule you create (and hold to) based on the frequency of Halley's Comet fly-bys.
