The Long Road to Recovery
I can hardly believe that my body is still sore from my boot camp workout Friday morning. I’m really not sure how I’m going to do it three mornings this week and still manage to move, let alone lift my arms up over my head without wincing. I was so wiped out from the morning’s

Clearly, I’ve Lost My Mind
Not only did I wake up and get out of bed before it was light out this morning, but I willingly went out to Washington Square Park for a boot-camp style workout. As I was cleaning out a huge pile of mail, I stumbled across a flyer from Bootcamp Republic, announcing their next session. Assuming

I’m Tired*
*for best results, just imagine Madeline Kahn in Blazing Saddles. You can tell how busy I am by the amount of crap piled up on my dining table, the number of dishes in my sink, and the degree to which my apartment is in a state of general disarray. Thankfully, after tonight (planned night in),

Yes, We’re 12.
Any weekend that leaves your abs in pain from laughing hysterically is a good one, at least in my book.

Atoning for My Sins and Whatnot
Today is Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement. It’s a very convenient thing, really — you can sin all year, it all gets wiped away in one fell swoop, and then you’re all set. Even though I’m the Jewiest Jew in the family, I actually didn’t manage to get to temple this year for

Services Rendered
If there’s one thing I do well, it’s meeting people and making attempts to keep them in my life. Many people I know are astounded by, well, the sheer number of people I know. Recently, two separate friends were telling me how, for various reasons, they wanted to expand their social circles. "I can help."

Time to Hit the Beach
Yes, I know the weather is crummy, so it doesn’t necessarily seem like the best time to head out to Fire Island, but I decided to come out anyway, just to get out of the city and go somewhere quiet. All part of the grand plan to slow down this fall. There are only a
