I was thinking of either meditating or napping, but the way I do it, there's not much difference except in the explanation to the rest of my family.

A barrel or cask is a hollow cylindrical container, traditionally made of wood staves and bound with iron hoops. Someone who makes such barrels is known as a cooper. Contemporary barrels are also made in aluminium (also called kegs) and plastic.

Barrels often have a convex shape, bulging at the middle. This constant bulge makes it relatively easy to roll a well built wooden barrel on its side, changing directions with little friction. It also helps to distribute stress evenly in the material by making the container more spherical.

Casks used for ale or beer are equipped with shives, spiles and keystones in their openings.

The "chime hoop" is the iron hoop nearest the end of a wooden barrel. The "bilge hoops" are the hoops nearest the bulge, or centre.

The stopper used to seal the hole in a barrel is called the bung.

Have to admit, I just looked up a picture of a Dvorak keyboard and looked for the letter B, A R E and L and pressed the keys in those places on my Qwerty keyboard

I was only 1 letter out
