Cake. Sneakers.

[Soundtrack to this post: Cake – What's Now Is Now]

It’s the beginning of March. Do you know where your New Year’s resolutions are?

A mild late winter has already swept away the first two months of 2012. For fraction fans, that’s one-sixth.

The good thing is, one-sixth is not very much. Take this hypothetical example: if your mom saved a piece of your dad’s birthday cake for your brother who won’t be getting home until after his late-night hockey practice, you can take the sharpest knife in the drawer, slice off a one-sixth sliver, shove it in your mouth, and tiptoe to the downstairs bathroom to finish chewing before anybody notices.

So, we tortoises have lost nothing in letting all the hares get a two-month head start on stimulating the New York Sports Club economy. It’s our turn to lace up our running shoes, get to bed at a reasonable hour, and greet the New York morning with our pale legs.
