Do you know the story of the Greek king Sisyphus? He famously cheated death, and the gods punished him by forcing him to roll a rock up a hill for eternity—which, to be honest, sounds kind of like the annual process of creating an employee wellness program budget.

“The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air!” my friend Robin yells, and immediately launches into the TV show’s opening theme song. Her nine-year-old son, who just read the trivia question that triggered this outburst, looks confused and a little annoyed. “You didn’t even let me finish the question!” he exclaims. We’re sitting in beach chairs on a grassy lawn by the lake

I’m standing near the sidelines of the soccer field, trying not to pace. My eldest son, age 9, grimaces in the goal as the ball flies past him and the other team scores—again. Our team is getting cooked, as the kids say. I’ve lost track of how many shots have made it over and around my goalie son, but it’s
