I am not spending enough time in the gym. It’s really that simple. With a long work day and worse, a commute on both ends, time to get to the gym during the week just doesn’t seem to be happening. I know I am not the only one with this problem. We all struggle with not having enough time in the day.

I wrote what I thought was a really good blog this morning.  I had to do it through Explorer because for whatever reason Firefox does not let me post on the Gotham blog page.   Just as I finished, my computer said Explorer is no longer working, and suddendly it all disappeared. 

If you watch TED talks, I would recommend taking a look at Angela Duckworth's discussion on the formost predictor of success and I would guess it's not what you think. She studied Chicago public schoolchildren from a wide variety of social and ecnonomic situations.   "It wasn't talent or brains. It wasn't social intelligence. It wasn't good looks. It wasn't physical health. It wasn't IQ. It was grit" she said.  

The age old question is: If you could have one thing would it be money, fame or power?  What would it be for you and for what reasons?I know what it is for me and will chime in at the end of the day. Weigh in please!

Well, they seem to be working. The cameras in school zones that generate tickets for exceeding the school zone speed limit. There is one such zone on a road that I travel very frequently. After the initial onslaught of tickets, and the publicity about the cameras, motorists being caught unaware and early flaws resulting in many, many unwarranted tickets being sent out (and then dismissed), it seems that people in my neighborhood are getting the message.

It is a frightening story.  The the head of the CDC seemed to be trying to convince us that we shouldn't be as afraid as he assumed we would be.  It's probably a good assumption.    

I can’t believe I am even writing this blog.  Sports commentary is very much outside my comfort zone. But I did see the hit and it looked really bad.
