OK, to appease Z, here are some "positive" survey questions about summertime activities:
1. Besides waiting for training camp.....what are your favorite summertime sports to watch or play or take part in?
Since mowing grass is not a sport...would taking a nice hike count? My wife and I like to watch the major golf tournaments on TV....we spent hours last week watching the US Open. But I have not played golf in a decade. I really should start up again.
2. What is your favorite beach(es) (whether you go there in summer or not)?
I/we do not have any particular local beach that we like to go to. I choose various vacation destinations and some have beaches. Favorites I have gone to in the past: Kapalua Beach, Maui. Doheney Beach, Orange Co. Crystal Coast NC.
But the best beaches are on St. John's USVI

3. What is your favorite Amusement Park.....past or present?
Grew up going to Chippewa Lake Park in Medina County. My Dad's company always had summer outings there. For a while it was also a very hot spot for music. Easy Street/The Rats even played some in their ballroom.
Of course Cedar Point is an awesome roller coaster park. But I go for the nostalgia.
Only remnants remain of Chippewa Lake park.
4. Aside from the above, what is your favorite summertime destination for a vacation or Getaway?
Over the last 32 years I have probably gone to 30 different locations for summer vacation....and I won't bore you with the list....and that trend will likely continue.
For a short getaway I generally try to get up to Put-In-Bay to scream "Fuck You Westside" once a summer....all of you should do that. I have been to nearby Lakeside a couple of times as well.
5. What is your favorite "Cool Down" Summertime drink?
Dasani Water usually. An occasional wine cooler or margarita Beer does not do it for me. Coke used to, but I am trying to stay away from the pop and sugar. An occasional stop at the nearby root beer stand should satisfy the soft drink urge.
But I should experiment with the foo foo drinks more like GFT described.

Mike.....Fly fish for bluegill?.....curious, why bluegills over other fish?......and do sunfish and red ears count as bluegills?

1. Besides waiting for training camp.....what are your favorite summertime sports to watch or play or take part in?
I enjoy Baseball. the Golf majors are fun.
I participate in golf, riding my bike along the beach and girl-watching. The last two simultaneously.
2. What is your favorite beach(es) (whether you go there in summer or not)?
I am within a 3 mile bike ride of two of the top Beaches in the USA: Barefoot Beach & Delnor-Wiggins Pass, both here in Collier County, Florida. Barefoot is my favorite today, I think they are equally fantastic. I had coffee this morning on Vanderbilt Beach, another fave (Wiggins is actually an extension of Vanderbilt).
3. What is your favorite Amusement Park.....past or present?
Not a huge amusement park guy, but I enjoyed Cedar Point as a kid, and Busch Gardens as an adult (because it had beer). Grew up spending a lot of time at Conneaut Lake Park in NW PA, the park is a shadow of its former self, but the Blue Streak still runs, and it is actually scarier because it is wooden and old and one of these days it is going to make the news.
4. Aside from the above, what is your favorite summertime destination for a vacation or Getaway?
I like to head to the Keys for long weekends. Hawaii is my favorite vacation destination overall. Travelling Europe in the Summer was something I dd when I was young, and was probably the best vacation.
5. What is your favorite "Cool Down" Summertime drink?
Cold beer.

Will do.....would love to learn some fly fishin......
Though my real motive is that I have an over abundance of hybrid Bluegill, as well as Sunfish & Redears, that need serious culling and would welcome anyone that appreciates catching them....(really need someone to bring a cooler and harvest some poundage).....they're spawning as we speak, so about 80000 more will be born this month.....HA!
So if you need a hot spot to fish and feel like a short road trip(2 hrs from Canton), Im your guy.....Ill message you with the details...
-
Oh, Mud, I volunteer to drive down with Canton Mike and fish sometime.
I always need more bluegill fillets. I'd like to break out my old 1970's Eagle Claw
fly rod. I think it cost me eight bucks back in the day. My Wifie and I will be glad to
help Canton Mike fix your problem with too many bluegill !

Ha....most of my rods are the 8 buck variety too....(and they're new
)....The more the merrier really.....we can have a Browns board fishin party.....
And Im sure the fish would love to be kept and eaten as opposed to just being raccoon food(which is what Im doing now)....
Though,,,,if you're in Canton, the drive is "up" and about 2 hrs......Oh-Pa line(just below Conneaut)

Hey that sounds like a cool idea. The Browns Board Fishing Party. While I am not a fisherman, my son is...and he would probably like to join in. We went to Montana last year and he has a fairly new fishing rig that needs more use. He fished I watched. He will be back home some this summer. I am leaving tomorrow to pick him up. Timing on the trip so my boy can make it:
Sometime between July 4th and August 1st....but not the 18th. (after that we have a summer vacation, and he then heads to grad school).
Post it or shoot me a message too.

Well, soccer for sure. Apart from that ultimate frisbee is pretty fun. Cricket too, I guess.
2. What is your favorite beach (whether you go there in summer or not)?
I don't really have one, but been to some amazing ones in and around south east asia, as well as this one in greece a couple weeks ago
3. What is your favorite Amusement Park.....past or present?
My buddies and I have been organising an amusment park trip once a year for about 4 years now. We went to Port Aventura last year, for a few days, and stayed in the hotel - accommodation plus park entry was about β¬50 per person per night, which is pretty decent for Barcelona. We got in to the park, and went to our first ride - MASSIVE queues. Being british I didn't mind, but the others weren't best pleased. So we went back to the hotel, paid about β¬40 for a 'fast pass' and walked straight back to the front of the queue for same ride. People who were next to us were only about half way through the queue. Anyway, with these passes, we could jump straight to the front of every queue; since it was Oktoberfest at the park it was open until 2am, meaning we could go early, have a lazy lunch, go siesta in the afternoon and chill around the pool, go back for a bit, have dinner, then get back in to the park around 9pm with about 20% of the normal attendance. Best theme park experience of my life.
4. Aside from the above, what is your favorite summertime destination for a vacation or Getaway?
SE Asia, far and away. But, not summertime - as I mentioned elsewhere, summer in London is so shortlived you can't really go anywhere or you miss it. It's glorious when it comes though.
5. What is your favorite "Cool Down" Summertime drink?
Good beer; young coconut; or apple juice with aloe vera chunks (trust me on that one).
Better?
