Because I’m pressed for time, I take the dog for a short walk this evening, just long enough to take care of the essentials.
My wife is concerned that five minutes isn’t enough exercise for the little guy, but isn’t a five-minute walk equivalent to a 35-minute walk for dogs?
Experts say the belief that sexual activities can lead to a second heart attack consists of a little bit of truth, but research suggests that it is largely exaggerated. People can have sex after their heart attacks. In fact, the more you exercise — including having sex — the better your odds.

I thought I saw one of the dads from my kid’s high school roller hockey team at L.A. Fitness this morning.
He was riding a stationary bike and there was no way I could get where I wanted to go without walking past him.

I hate talking to people when I’m working out. That’s why I come in here at 5 in the morning — because it’s not crowded and I don’t have to talk to anybody.
If this guy’s going to start coming in at 5 and I have to talk to him every morning — even if it’s just to say hello — I swear to Jesus I’m going to start coming in at 4.
Thank god it wasn’t him after all . . .
