Life may defy control but at the Magazine, with our annual Summer Pleasures issue, we try to provide a helpful guide to the essentials of summer. While the rest of the country relaxes, we hearty Midwestern souls devote ourselves to experiencing the season to its fullest extent. With this week’s guide in hand, there’s no need to waste time figuring out a plan of attack for Ravinia or Millennium Park. With gas prices sky high, and road construction in full swing, this summer is no time for meandering by automobile, so we will suggest excursions with a bit more focus and direction.
Planning a Magazine on planning requires expertise and focus, as well as an ability to go with the flow. For this ability to hold contradictory impulses simultaneously, we looked to Assistant Editor Desiree Chen’s wise stewardship.
“Summer is so short and there are so many wonderful things to do-my goal was to highlight some possibilities without it being overwhelming or intimidating.
“Now hurry up and have fun already, before it’s too late!”
Whatever your approach to summer, we hope this week’s Magazine provides what you need-whether it’s a roadmap for making every moment count, or just entertainment while passing time in front of the television, relaxing to the steady hum of an air conditioner.
