10 – Chance to show off that new thong bikini or Speedo (or to glare disapprovingly for a long time at those who do)

9 – Summer camp for the kids (and a peaceful week or two for the parents without the kids)

8 – Summer vacation for the whole family (wonderful way to add points to your credit card reward program)

7 – Cool summer nights under the stars (with an adult beverage or two for each adult)

6 – Good things happen in the summer (the Moon landing AND Woodstock)

5 – Laugh as Australia deals with snow storms (meanwhile checking our shovels in the shed)

4 – Kids catching fireflies and delighting in the light show (Little ones sleep peacefully as lightning bugs die overnight)

3 – Gorging on cool foods, ice cream, sorbets, watermelon (without guilt about not cooking)

2 – It’s not winter (that was 100-degrees ago)

1 – School’s out for summer, school’s out for-ever (Go ask Alice … Cooper, that is)
