avram | The democracy workout

[ voting booth ] Got up around 9 today, web-browsed for a while, then went out and voted. Straight Democratic ticket (even held my nose and voted for Major Owens), and No on Giuliani’s leftover proposition about the public advocate. (My polling place is the Brooklyn Museum. Casting a vote there just doesn’t feel as good as it did when I was voting against Rudy.)

Then I headed into Manhattan and checked out the New York Sports Club branch near Union Square. I got a free one-week trial membership, and if I decide to join by Thursday I get a discount on the initiation fee and November for free.

I’m pretty psyched to get back to working out. I’m currently at 274 pounds. Two or three weeks of effort could bring me to the lowest weight of my adult life; from that point on, every new pound I lose sets a personal record. Exciting territory.
