It's Like Going to the Gym


It really is. You know how if you start going to the gym it sucks and you feel like dying when you are putting on your sneakers. And then it gets a little easier ... and eventually (if you're lucky) it's just natural to throw on those clothes when you have free time and take a little jog.

Four of us went to a home for battered women and their kids - while the families were on a field trip about 20 of us painted, gardened and cleaned. I must admit that our group was half an hour late because it's just really hard to get up before 9 on Saturday. But we did stay a little later to clean up ... so there. The rest of the group was, to my amazement, young people. The leader of the group was a (very) young lawyer helped out by her boyfriend who happened to be the assistant to a huge Hollywood producer. Their friends were also execs, assistant etc ... see, you can shmooze at the same time. Better than a bar if you ask me.

All in all, I think our little group of 4 had a great time ... and worked up a sweat. Shower time.
