In-House Corner: Summer Doings

In this blog feature, our in-house readers share tips, anecdotes, and thoughts about topics that arise in their daily practice. This particular batch of thoughts is about enjoying your summer:

1. "Get outside as much as possible. Don't put off doing summer things that you enjoy; you might never get to them. Summer goes fast."
    
2. "I heard a bad joke on CNBC this morning. Andrew Ross Sorkin said that his kids had been asking to see Europe this summer. He told them to look in the mirror the next morning and they could see 'You're up.' It's almost funny. After being attacked by horseflies last summer in a wildlife refuge, I am looking for low adventure ideas on summer fun." 
    
3. "When I was young, summer meant no responsibilities and seemed endless. Now it doesn't feel that much different than the rest of the year. Maybe a need to find a summer love!"
    
4. "Spend as much time outside as possible."
    
5. "First, be sure to take time to recharge. Then, as you have thoughts about improvement opportunities throughout the year, prioritize only a few. Plan and execute. Summer is also a good time to do some deep reading on emerging topics. Always be learning. Stay current." 
    
6. "I always take my two-week shore vacation mid-August. This way when someone says how was your summer, I always say 'great.'"
    
7. "Sun, warm weather, the beach and baseball! What's not to like?"
    
8. "I like everything about summer."
    
9. "Summer sure seems shorter than when I was a kid."
    
10. "Summer is incredible because it marks the end of proxy season and the beginning of BBQ smoking season."
