[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.

    About this blog

    I'll use this space to write about movies, bikes, communications trends, pop culture, and my adventures as a new New Yorker.

    In its previous incarnation, I blogged about taking groups of friends and strangers to the movies with my Tuesday Night at the Movies group. Fortunately, my friend Nasrin continues to lead the group. You should join them some Tuesday!
