I hope you had a lovely 4th of July weekend. Mine was really very nice, but of course it brings up one of the frightening truths about summer: you are wasting your life. If you are not at the beach every second, if you are not traveling constantly to exotic locations like St. Tropez or the Hamptons, if you are not taking three day weekends every single weekend in July and August, then you are not taking full advantage of the summer.
Every moment spent in your tiny little cubicle looking forward to sneaking out to Starbucks in half-an-hour is a lost opportunity. And your misery is directly inversely proportional to how much fun everybody else you know is having.
That said, ultimately I’m a person of simple pleasures. Give me an air-conditioned apartment and a marathon of Half Pint Brawlers on Spike, and I’m a happy man.
And my favorite part of the holiday weekend was my little trip to Henry Public, a Brooklyn Heights bar famous for its turkey leg sandwiches. These creations are delightful. They’re comprised of turkey mixed with some kind of gravy, topped with crispy onions between two slices of thick Pullman bread. My friend and I sat for two hours, eating and drinking as the pretty waitresses constantly refilled our water glasses because we were obviously dehydrated from having been outside.
Because I’m totally OK with wasting my life, as long as there are turkey sandwiches involved.

In this week’s episode of the podcast, we talk about the difficulties involved in going up to strange women to try to talk them. I’m not sure if listening will improve your game, but it’ll certainly give you a chuckle.
