Friday Night Happy Hour: Summer Vacation Edition

Put your feet up and take a load off

Welcome back to BTSC’s Friday night open thread:

1. Summer is officially in full swing. In a couple of weeks, I’ll be going on a 5-day trip to British Columbia with some friends. Does anybody else have any fun trips planned this summer they’d like to share?
2. Speaking of summer, that means it’s my favorite time of year: cookout season. Do you have any grill masters among us? What’s your go-to grilling recipe?
3. The NBA Draft was also this week. This year, one of the players has been making a bit of a fuss over not wanting to play for the Utah Jazz. NBA drama aside, if you could be “drafted” to have you and your loved ones live anywhere besides where you currently live, what city would you choose? What location would you least want to be drafted to?
4. This question is for our readers. I’ll have a few opportunities during my trip to relax outside with a book. Does anybody have any book recommendations? Fiction and nonfiction suggestions are both welcome!
5. This week’s song of the week is leaning into that summer feeling with an easy listening song I was fond of whenever my parents would throw on the radio for a BBQ.
