Elliptical challenges and a new venture

I was at the Y the other day, plugging along on the elliptical, when I noticed that the woman next to me was reading the New York Times. I was blown away. I can't read anything on the elliptical, much less try to manipulate a newspaper. Good Lord, I can't read the Post without having some sort of table (or a couch cushion) in front of me. If I tried what that woman was doing, I would've wound up dead, caught up in the mechanism of the machine.

In other news, if you care to read only my thoughts on entertainment items such as movies, theater, and books--and not have to deal with my yammering on the Orioles or John Wilkes Booth (though he might come up if I see Assassins again, or read another biography)--check out my new blog. I choose to think of it as another thing I'm doing instead of any number of things I should be doing.
