Near Christmas Update
It’s almost Christmas, but it doesn’t really feel like it. We don’t have a tree in my apartment because we won’t be here for Christmas and the cat would probably eat it and die. We do have some colorful icicle lights and a candle that smells like a Christmas tree, but it’s just not the same. Both Elizabeth and I are looking forward to flying up to Maine and spending Christmas with my family. I’ve been assured that both my parents have Christmas trees and there is in fact snow on the ground. This will be slightly different than last year when I went for a bike ride in shorts on January 1st in St. Louis -- Incidentally, that was also the first and only time that I’ve ever been pooped on by a bird. And I wasn’t going slowly so it splattered EVERYWHERE. I’ll spare you the rest, but I brushed my teeth extra hard when I got home.
Elizabeth and I are going to try and make the same new years resolution that just about everyone else in America makes – lose weight and get more (or in my case ‘more than none’) exercise. We went to look at gyms to join today, but the more we look into them, the more of a scam they appear to be. The one we liked so far forces you to give a credit card number even if you pay upfront with cash. They also automatically renew your membership and to cancel you have to give them 3 months notice. Not something I'd really like to get myself into -- at least currently.
Happy Holidays!

You are coming up to Maine? 622-2651. Poop on your teeth? Sounds like a camping trip with Norman story, until you consider it came from a stankin bird.
Yeah, so I just did the same thing as you guys. You might find this interesting... I went to world gym, the YMCA in Manchester that used to be "Run For Your m.f. LIFE, yo", and I also looked at the Senator Spa. The only one that had a scandalous payment plan was the Senator, who said $100 setup fee (wtf?! Oh, all that PAPER WORK THAT'S AUTOMATED, NO DOUBT) and then you could do a month or 3 month period with auto renew, or 6 months w/o auto renew. Makes no sense to this stupid fat red head.
Anyway, all were similarly priced if you can forgive the unforgivable setup fee at the Senator Spew, and all offered ONE feature the others didn't. The YMCA allowed you to hang at any of their other joints for nothing, the Worldly Gym had way more dry junk to use, like tanning beds and tennis courts... and The Spa was, you know, very spa like. Multiple saunas, a pool, a hot tub, and... drum roll please... shower curtains! Yes, Mr. Senator, you take the cake on that one. Not to mention they have body lotions and hand lotions and congo fonbotions...
Jeez... I'm writing like I'm in high school again. Anyway, give me teh dingaling when you're finally back within striking distance.
