i looked a quite a few other things and realized just how "out of touch" i am with tech gadgets.. and how little i really need them. i don't even have a dvd player.. and my vcr isn't hooked up quite right. i manage just fine.

i took my check book with me.. because this cardio-gym place is only $19.95 a month. no enrollment fee.. or anything else, well almost nothing else.

i didn't join.. because:

1) i don't want to sign a 12 month membership, i really don't think i'm going to be at this address that long.

2) the guy had wicked bad breath

3) the place isn't that nice.. but then, do i really care about that? i shouldn't.

4) i got it in my head i'd rather buy a machine (a bike) than join the gym.

5) the guy didn't outright ask me to join.

mostly.. i didn't like the guy. perhaps i'll go back tomorrow after work and join.

i had my back packed and in the car.. with the thought i'd join/exercise today. i feel sort of bad i didn't..

i did look at some machines, but.. i think part of the benefit of going to the gym is being around other people. wouldn't get that at home..

anyway. that's the one thing that lingers on my "to do" list.. and has for a while.

other than that.. i'm feeling quite spiffy about myself. in fact, given the rapid-fire way in which quite a few things went down in the last.. 30 or so days, i'm feeling wicked good about myself.

i shudder to think it, but in quite a few ways.. i think i "grew up".

gym-wise, the place i'd like to join is about 3x the price of the crappy one.. and that's just too hard to justify.. seeing as all my fat ass will do for a quite a while is ride a bike.

i think.. tomorrow, tomorrow i'll go and join.. but only if that guy isn't there.. or if i don't have to talk to him.
