As I took a break from being elbow-deep in stuff like this and enjoyed a sip of my alcohol-free 100% fruit juice sans tiny cocktail umbrella I felt just a little jealous of all those who will be enjoying sun, sand, and water this weekend.

Perhaps this weekend, in a show of support, I’ll try on my Hawaiian shirt, Bermuda shorts, Chinese flip-flops, and requisite Red Sox hat, relax in my (garaged) convertible, close my eyes, and listen for the ocean. In the meantime, all you beachgoers everywhere can be my proxies…postcards and lemonade optional.

Thanks for reading!
