and just like that, they're gone

OK, it was cold last night and maybe that had something to do with it.

I was expecting a crowd at the gym last night. I figured it was the perfect storm. First, you have the people who are still on their New Year's resolutions, who crowded the place last Tuesday. Next, it's opening night of American Idol, so all the Idol watchers would be in, gawking at the tube while they work out and having their discussions about who looked good, bad or indifferent. Then, who knows what you get when you mix those groups. It could pull in even more.

Surprisingly enough....the place was close to deserted. there was me...and two or three other people at any given time...and Sports Center ruled the TV. Maybe the New Year's resolutions have already faded.....
