For my fortieth birthday this year, my wife (the dear) purchased a

& _9 B# m' g8 X) U$ T( lam still in great shape since playing on my college football team 25  m3 }; x( G7 ^; o: B8 E
years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a+ v* o% {) }' J+ y/ \; }4 E
try. I called the club and made my reservation with a personal trainer, ~6 t9 Y  p! q0 x4 ^4 B- n
named Belinda, who identified herself as a 26 yr. old aerobics

me. She was something of a Greek goddess-- with blonde hair, dancing
