this way to the gun show

I joined a gym.

Good news: it was not too expensive, and it's a three minute walk from my house.
Bad news: Ew. I joined a gym.

Oh well. Here's to working out every morning at 6:15.

Today was awesome at the museum, more teacher training - and I got to see the presentations from half the "class." I'm doing mine next week, so it was good experience to learn from their work. It's very low pressure, but I'm still in school mode and want to "ace" it. By which I mean not make a fool of myself in front of my coworkers.

I'm reading Michael Gruber's "The Book of Air and Shadows." And while I seem to be off to a slow start due to my inexplicably truncated attention span, I'm enjoying it well enough. Aside from cooking up a deliciously complicated plot and hilarious characters (at least the males - so far there are no females who are not sluts or ice queens, so he's on notice) Gruber manages to write characters who google and blog and suffer Blackberry withdrawal without destroying the literary world he's created. For some reason - maybe my affinity for historical fiction - I just can't stand to read about computers in my fiction. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I work on one all day long.

Is it New Hampshire yet?
