Here is what you have to do, I have figured this out just recently. Accept the heat. It is 95 degrees and it feels like 105. Stop complaining because that won't make it any cooler. Accept the fact that you will be wearing a wet shirt soon. Accept the fact that sweat burns your eyes. When you have done this you are half way there. Make sure you have a cooler filled with beer, lots of ice, and then more ice inside in the freezer because even ice in a cooler becomes water quicker than you can imagine. Drink the beer at a rate that would seem alarming to a physician. Don't worry about hydration. It is too late. You are and will continue to be dehydrated. The final two things might be the most important. Surround yourself with people who have bought into the earlier rules of the summer. These people are your friends and they WILL NOT complain about the heat. It is not allowed. They will also drink beer with you at an alarming rate and they will not think about their health for the next 3-7 hours. Finally, and arguably the most important thing you need is good music, good playlists, nice rotation of great, great summertime songs.
Here are a few songs from summers past to get you going. And here is to all the people out there breaking out of their cold, cold basements and ignoring ticker tape heat advisories to take back their summer.
