I finally got to the new 24 Hour Fittness (open 24 hours) and sampled the you-powered rides. I like riding the elliptical cycle, a standup jobber, while glancing at Comedy Central on a flat screen TV. Unfortunately, I did a number on my triceps, which I'm now nursing with ice packs and Aleve.
Other smalltalk: I never did locate that missing battery charger for the Olympus Stylus 500, so I bought a replacement on eBay, am expecting it soon. In the meantime: thank you friends, for allowing me the use of your cameras.
