Bravo Sir! I've been reading logbook nazi's pontificate on this site for years and it's been driving me nuts! When I get the same question from guys, I always tell them that you can log the time spent "in your bean bag chair naked eating Cheetos", the real question is how you apply that time, and what you actually want in your logbook. As you stated, currency, aeronautical experience, etc. are the minimum requirements, anything on top of that is essentially gravy.
