meatloafing

Last weekend marked the unofficial (but basically official—get real) start of summer. We enjoyed a BBQ, a cutthroat game of Apples to Apples, a leisurely bike ride to Rikers Island, and beautiful weather. Meatloafing offers 7 tips for a sensational summer:

• Work on this season’s “it” muscle (according to Maggie, it’s the semitendinosus, the semimembranosus, and the biceps femoris, all of which make up what’s commonly known as the hamstring)
• Bike often and wear a helmet
• Don’t wear leggings as pants
• Make sun tea in your office windowsill if you cannot actually go outdoors
• Mollie’s Famous Lemonade
• Constantly over-meat
• Enjoy this timeless, yet often overlooked vegetable: Radishes!

[A note about our new look: It's actually our old look, and we're working on getting our new look back. Upgrading WordPress without backing up your old files is not recommended. Thank you.]

‘Tis the season to relax and possibly hermit a little. But we also enjoy getting out of the house sometimes. Hopefully you’ll find inspiration in some of these 10 simple suggestions.

The Pond at Bryant Park opens a week from this Friday. Last year was great fun. I went twice: once after my company’s holiday party when I was drunk, and another time I don’t remember. This year, we’re celebrating opening day—and also the fact that since it’s still October, we can skate without being blanketed in down, wool, Gore-Tex®, and so on. Come out and wear your best tube top.
