Out of the Blue - Blue's News Story

Okay, confession is said to be good for the soul, so here goes. It's time to tip the hat to those who laughed at me four years ago when I spoke of picking up a giveaway elliptical machine from a neighbor. I was optimistic about this whipping me into shape, but there were many jokes about how these things end up being coatracks. Now in fairness, this was a pretty crappy unit (hence the giveaway), but that was not nearly the obstacle my laziness was. So the good news is that it didn't cost me anything to learn that those of you who predicted it would get no use were correct. We had some junk hauled off the other day, and the elliptical was part of the purge, drawing this fiasco to a close.
