Two of our friends belong to our gym—or, rather, we joined their gym last October. For the first time EVER, our presence there collided last night...and as Nick was finishing his run, he took note of Kara's interest in People, having grabbed several issues from the gym's collection. I have a subscription, obtained in large part so that we might have a crack at an easy crossword every week. It's a pricey little crossword, no?

So, we're pulling on our sweatshirts, readying for our exit into the cool night, when Nick suggests from the corner of his mouth that we ought to start saving our People magazines. I like to share and all, but my first instinct was to pout, "Can we still do the crosswords?"

He replied, "Yes, we can still do the crosswords. But we have to finish each one completely. Cheat if we have to." Suddenly, our meager attempts at trivia have an audience.
