For those who missed the exercise, we started with 64 reasonably good things in life, seeding them into a 64-team bracket just like March Madness.

Slightly more mature versions might include tanning, drinks, and people-watching. (Beware the Speedos!) Either way, where there\u2019s water and lounge chairs, it\u2019s usually a good time!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">What will it be for you, Coffee Shops or Swimming Pools?
