1. While pedaling away at the elliptical today, I spotted a
frazzle-haired woman mount her machine a row ahead of me. I took a double take
when I saw her attempt to balance a chunky electronic on the machine’s magazine
holder. It was indeed what I thought it was: a cassette Walkman.
2. To those on the stairmaster machines beside the floor-to-ceiling
mirrors: I can see you shamelessly checking yourself out in the mirror, and so
can the rest of us. After all, there are floor-to-ceiling mirrors all over the
cardio area.
