Staff writer Sadie Fowler dared me to visit her aerobics class and has offered me tons of encouragement ever since. I can’t thank her enough.

Head pressman Martin Jones and I have begun doing some things together, and we intend to hit the weights together twice a week, beginning Sunday. I also want to thank the person who secretly bought me the subscription to Men’s Health magazine, which started showing up at my apartment a few days ago.
