Big Things

You hear interesting things in gyms, especially in Manhattan.

It took me an hour and a half to get to the gym today (NYC was having a transit meltdown this morning), but I overheard a conversation after I got out of the pool. 

Someone's show was opening.

I thought how nice, someone has a little play debuting somewhere just as the guy mentioned "NBC" and "next month."

This was after dressing next to the world record holder in the 60+ one-mile swim a month ago or so. His swimming pace in that race was almost my walking pace.

Sure, most of my day was spent jamming onto trains, avoiding frozen dog poop on the sidewalk, and navigating through snow passes at intersections, but it does feel like big things are happening all around you.
