Starting up A Gym Routine
A much appreciated break from the humid weather today. Still warm, close to the low 80s I think, but much more comfortable. Mid-afternoon, after my school appointments, I changed my clothes and headed out to my car, where I happened to run into the downstairs neighbor stepping out of hers. Looking tired. She asked where [...]
Embrace Your Inner Cheapskate
An experiment that kind of makes sense… until you do it. It brings back fond memories of the Asian-American childhood, though. Mom, love you and appreciate you more every day. Really.
Embrace Your Inner Cheapskate
One man challenges himself to go one week without spending a cent and finds the sacrifices are more than he [...]
Rush Hour by Sarah Chu
Thanks, J, for forwarding along this piece by our mutual friend Sarah, only a year away from finishing the interminable training that is the path towards physicianhood. She wrote it for a creative nonfiction class that she took at Penn. Excellent stuff.

New Megabus Service from Boston to Philadelphia
Alright!! Though fine with the roundtrip bus rides between Boston and NYC, bus trips to Philadelphia (through NYC) have always been a little harrowing.

You have to feel good for the Washington Nationals, and this Washington Post writer gets the magic just right. I love that–at its best, baseball as a [...]
Here We Come, Beacon Hill Athletic Club…
So S. and I are going to do it. Thanks to a pretty great temporary membership deal through the Groupon website (20 full-access visits for less than $30), get ready for us, Beacon Hill Athletic club! Time to get in some better shape for summer travel.
We strolled into the Brookline Village location this late afternoon [...]
Gathering of Heavy Storm Clouds
There’s something wonderfully ominous about the way the early evening just darkened. The strong weather system finally coming through the southern New England area, hopefully to break this humid stretch of days. I’ve been waiting for it for pretty much the whole day, now. A forecast of possible small hail and a tornado warning. [...]
What Pets Can Teach Us About Marriage
An article I came across today in the NY Times, much in the well-loved tradition of the msn.com and yahoo front pages no less. Bring it on! The early quote by one Dr. Phillips is the best, though the ‘Holding Grudges’ lesson also is right up there.
