Last night, the hot water was only warm (so I didn't run the dishwasher). This morning, it was cold, and the heat appeared to be off. Having no idea of what was going on, I didn't want to count on hot water tomorrow morning either. [Before anyone worries, it is nice and warm in here now. On my way in, I spoke to a neighbor who had called the managing agent for the building, and been told someone would be out to fix it within the hour. Someone clearly did come and fix it; we will hope it stays fixed for a good long time.]

I have a gym membership, meaning I can go whenever I want for no extra charge. One of the things the gym has is showers. Plenty of them. So I figured I'd go shower after work. I didn't exactly plan on a workout, but I figured I might as well take a set of exercise clothes with me.

After work today, I returned a library book (paying a fifty-cent fine, because I'd lost track of the due date) and checked out another one, and then went another block, to the gym. I figured I'd try a little exercise and see what happened. It turned out to be a fairly solid workout.

I was also reminded of one reason why I usually take the subway up to Times Square and use the gym branch on the 15th floor of the Marriott. The hotel has a significantly better laundry than the gyms generally do. The towels at this branch (and, I remembered, many others) smell of old sweat. The ones on 49th Street don't.

So, more gym numbers )
