Aquatic sports: I’m getting this surfing thing down! Of course, I do lovely belly-flops when I fall off. ;) Water temperatures are about 65 F – still enough of a polar bear to be fine without a wet suit.

Snakes on a Plane: did not make my summer (because it has nothing on DC), but was an amazing cinematic experience.

Champagne: Yes, it can be thrown off a fourth-floor balcony, land in a pool, and not be shaken up so as to explode when opened.
