My Summer To-Do List


  1. Grill at least 20 pounds of the Teriyaki steak tips from Concord Beef and Seafood, even though Gordon complains that they are candy flavored, and can't we get some steak flavored steak?
  2. Drink at least a couple gallons of ice cold Rose--the delicious one with the rooster on the label and the extra classy screw top
  3. Order my own pint of fried clams, in one of those little cardboard boxes, and eat them with my fingers, and not share even one
  4. Watch the people at Whoopie Twist and not worry about the number of calories in a large pumpkin spice
  5. Hike at least two more of the 4,000 footers here in New Hampshire without caring that my weirdly brown hiking pants do not match any shirt I own or could ever want to own
  6. Host a cocktail party by the pool while wearing a maxi dress, even though I am 47, and what isn't jiggly is wrinkly
  7. Let my kids live in their bathing suits, chafing be damned
  8. Plant my bottom in a sand chair at Corporation beach and polish off an entire sleeve of Pringles with my tuna sammie
  9. Read A Confederacy of Dunces for the 25th time
  10. Cherish the shortest season of the year because it is June 22nd and it could snow before Halloween, 4 short months from now
