Sure does look nice outside--nice and way too hot. So if you feel like braving the world outside the air-conditioned confines, it might be best to make it a cool, wet world. We'd like to suggest an inner tube and a slow stream. If you're looking for something a little more formal, though, sign up for a canoe or kayak trip with the Neuse River Foundation (check out www.neuseriver.com for details), or try a little wafting on the shady Eno with Riverdave Owen (info at www.wafter.org).
