Summer Suggestions

This is the final weekend of June and summer really gets into full swing with many getting ready for vacation. Next week of course features Independence Day which falls on a Wednesday, probably the most confusing day for our nation’s birthday. Most of us will be off on July 4th and I’m sure many will take the Monday and Tuesday before OR Thursday and Friday after to make for a long holiday break.

As I often remind you the summer weeks go all too fast and we really should try and maximize our enjoyment of these next couple of months. “Esquire”
Magazine has come out with a list of things we should try and do before Labor Day. These are really geared for active men and not practical for everyone but I think you’ll get the picture.

· Walk a path in the woods that has no other footprints. (They don’t
Mention to look out for ticks but I will).
· Go bodysurfing in cold water.
· See a drive-in movie. (Not very easy any longer…they were fun
when I was younger).
· Visit a completely useless roadside museum.
· Discover the best burger in town.
· Save room for dessert.
· Join your fellow gluttons at a food festival.
· Eat cotton candy in a strong breeze.
· Drink a cold beer behind the backstop after a softball game or a gin and tonic on the veranda as the nightingales sing in the lilacs. (Are
they kidding with this one?)
· On the 4th of July, drive down a road from which you can see the
Fireworks displays from several towns as you pass them.
· Spend more than two hours of a single day in a hammock.

It would really be interesting to try and do all those things over the course of a few days. Bottom line here…don’t let these days go by without having fun.
