Is it Possible to Have a Relaxing Weekend Anymore?

Do you remember bike rides on Saturdays and Sunday mornings with the paper? A typical weekend might have included grabbing a bite to eat with friends at a local bistro, taking in a movie or going out for brunch. Or perhaps you would have simply slept. Ah, glorious uninterrupted sleep. Where did those days go? All of a sudden, your weekends are dictated by ballet, soccer and birthday parties. And your old system for managing life doesn’t work either.
