Summer Reruns: A Few Entertaining Diversions & Inspirations

Whether you're hanging out on your front porch or inside in front of an air conditioner, long, warm summer days can be a good time to kick back, put your feet up and relax with a few media diversions. Or, if you're more ambitious, it can also be a good time to wax philosophical by reviewing some nuggets of wisdom handed down by the great philosophers and teachers.

Whichever your inclination, you'll find some useful resources below. I culled these from many years of my published articles, each of which took substantial effort to create. So that these don't disappear completely into our shadowy past, I hereby resurrect them as summer reruns. Enjoy!
