6. Too busy reading chick lit.
5. Daylight Savings Time.
4. The beach.
3. 8 weddings in 12 months. [See also: Top 10 Reasons I Can't Afford my Genealogical Habit or Any of the Other Pastimes I Used to Enjoy]
2. Too many interesting articles about food policy, monoculture, and the microbiome on Slate.
