1. Confessions of a Car Salesman →

    This is a must read for anyone who is even contemplating a car. Yes, car salesmen can be douche-y but they’re human too. At the same time, know the psychology behind it so you don’t get screwed!

  2. So I’ve never been big into running. In fact I’ve hated it for most of my life and focus on other activities. Since @angrywayne’s decided to run the marathon, I thought I’d tag along a bit to see what this running thing is all about.  So to fool myself and to stay interested, I’ve decided to use running as way to explore New York. I ran the Central Park loop last week and it was so magical - seeing the Boat House, the Met, and the Guggenheim flash by. It reminded me, wow, I am so grateful and lucky that I have the opportunity to do something like this, and I should take advantage of it more often. (I’m trying to stamp out the cynical “been there, done that” New Yorker mode in me.) There are so many places that I haven’t been yet! Like the Old Croton Aqueduct! And the Palisades! And Jacob Riis Park/Fort Tilden! Who’s with me?
