Cast of Characters
I love working out at the gym. As I’ve been going regularly, I’ve been getting to know who the regulars are. I’m terrible at remembering names, so I’ve come up with my own nicknames in my head to represent each person. When I mention one of them to my husband, he instantly knows who … Read more
Pluggin’ Along
