I'm on a business trip to lovely Dayton, Ohio. Ho-hum. So this will be short and sweet.
One thing that bothers me about the gym is the whole sports-obsessed atmosphere. There are a bunch of TVs to entertain you while you work out, but they're all tuned to ESPN, as if anyone really wanted to watch that. :) Well, anyway, not me. The eliptical machines and the treadmills all have their own flat screen TVs so you can choose your own channel and listen with the ear jacks. (If you remember to bring ear phones, which I never do.) So, do I watch CNN or the Today show? No, I tune in Spongebob Squarepants while I'm on the eliptical machine.
Today, I had to smile. I looked over at the treadmills and there was this buff guy with huge shoulders watching Spongebob too. We're Spongebob buddies!

I feel you pain. I hate exercise anyway unless it is walking or biking. Gym equipment bores me. I watch The Rockford Files. At least I can drool over James Garner. I hate Sports and talk tv
I've just recently started going to the ymca to help with my overwork burnout recovery. At least they let you change the tv channels. I love "the spongebob" he's so delightfully innocent.
