Just in Time for the Fourth of July Weekend>
If you are a workaholic with latent loafer tendencies, you may want to examine a new book that will inspire you to goof off with a newfound dedication. I'm speaking of How to Be Idle by the British writer Tom Hodgkinson. He has managed to write 272 pages on the subject, and by dipping in and out of chapters boasting such titles as "8 a.m.: Waking Up is Hard to Do," "3 p.m.: The Nap," and "6 p.m.: First Drink of the Day," and "9 p.m.: The Idle Home," you will be well launched on a lazy weekend. I have a difficult time being lazy, but once I'm into it, I'm a champ.
