COOKOUTS, SUNTANS, DAYTRIPS
to the beach and
leisurely family vacations: It’s summertime, as they say,
and the living is easy —
hypothetically
.
In reality, most people spend their summer months
sequestered in their offices, bundled against the frigid
air-conditioning, ge ing a ghostly tan off the glow of
their computer screens, dreaming of those carefree days
spent running through sprinklers, building sandcastles
and playing stickball in the nearest appropriate
backyard/parking lot.
Of course it’s unreasonable to ask a professional to
ditch a board meeting for a pool party, but it’s important
to clear some space in your hectic schedule while the
weather permits: Take an evening stroll, savor the
cool rush of the breeze on an evening bike ride, take a
meandering hike, hang out with the family on the front
porch. The point is, this is the time to get back to life’s
simpler things.
We know you’re busy. But don’t worry, you don’t have
to think of these ideas all by yourself. We’ve talked to
some companies that can help you enjoy these moments
of relaxation with a bit of style. Some ideas require only a
slight change in your daily routine, while others will have
you thinking a li le more outside the box. Everything
featured here will help you take advantage of the very
best that summer has to offer: watching fireworks with
the obligatory snow cone, for instance. Living doesn’t get
much easier than that, does it?
