Fit-less Is anyone else as amused as I am to watch someone drive around the parking lot at the Fitness Center three times until s/he finds a parking space right beside the door? Makes me wonder what my (invisible-to-me) conflicting values are… Chance Life is a chancy business. Literally. However, I noticed an interesting pattern the …
