In more important news, I no longer have love-handles. Dropped twenty pounds in the last six months, and gotten hella strong at the same time. The 92nd street Y rocks. It’s my favorite thing about NYC. Great cultural programming, a fun, active, inclusive yet still definitely Jewish place, and an amazing, low-pressure gym with great trainers. I advise everyone to move to the Upper East Side of Manhattan and take advantage of it. I’m in the best shape I’ve been since I got sidelined by a hernia fourteen years ago. They’re a non-profit, too.

Awesome things can be achieved by like-minded people working together to help their community. I’m very grateful to all the people there who put in the work to keep it going. I think it’s time for a donation.
