Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Day Three

Yesterday was day three of my return to Bally’s. I’ve been paying for this membership for the past three years. The first year I went pretty regularly. The second and third years, I didn’t go at all. Would my Bally’s payments be eligible as a tax-writeoff-able donation?

I’m only just using the treadmill right now. I would like to get on the weight machines, but I don’t know what I’d do. Plus it would more than double the time I’m spending there. Half an hour is plenty of time at the moment, thank you very much. I’m just glad I finally went back in there. Since I was gone, the parking lot has a ticketing system where I need to get validation from the front desk person. Also, the card I was using for automatic payment had expired. In November. So the girl at the desk knew I had at least been away for half a year. Little did she know it had been four times that long…

Of course, I can’t take pictures in the gym itself. That would probably get me beat up. So here’s a picture of the top of the building. The gym is actually in the basement.

Shop for froofy knick-knacks, send them to someone, exercise, get some tree-hugger food, and call someone to tell them all about it.

We’ll see how long this lasts…

    What about parking your pimped out, oversized, SUV on the left?

    I’m glad your picture caption explained the product of “Trader Joe’s” – I would never in a million years have guessed it was a granola grocery store. Sounds more like a beach apparel shop…
    Oh, and couldn’t you walk for a half hour in your neighborhood, look at all the pleasant garden scenery…and send me your monthly membership money? I know I’d be tax-writeoff-able!

      Walk in BRAD’S neighborhood? What are you NUTS!

        Well, what about a little 100ft walking path through his garden? You’d probably have to throw in a few curves to get to 100ft, but that would just add excitement to the walk/jog/run.

        I didn’t know you had a gym membership, but I always wondered why you had an iPod.

    All I have to say is, “Knock it off already, just knock it off!”

    ‘Absently flits a lot’
    ‘blatantly toss life’
    ‘not belly fatalists’
    ‘little slob fantasy’
    ‘Satan belts loftily’
    ‘flabs totally inset’
    – anagrams for Bally Total Fitness.

      Excellent.

    I am, once again, very proud, sir. I rememnber you mentioning this illusive membership…how you were not using it…how you wished you were doing something…Undoubtedly my own personal morning faithfulness in the rec pool at MTF up the hill there was sufficient inspiration for ya’. “If that old gal can do something every day for herself, I sure as Hackensack can!” Way to go, across-the-hall neighbor – I salute you!
