Exercise can seem like an enormous demon. Gyms can be intimidating. Fitness DVDs get lost beneath the pile of Things You Actually Want to Watch. Home workout equipment works well as an expensive, dusty drying rack — we once had an elliptical that did a fantastic job of air-drying clothes.

A Few Thoughts on Life
Life in California 1. Last week, I got the chance to speak at a conference in Pacific Grove, California, which is one of the most beautiful spots I’ve ever visited.
