Show Your Work

My brain is shot to hell, and though I’ve spent the past thirty minutes trying to piece together a blog entry – something to do with emptying your inbox, and with diagnosing what causes work backlogs – I have nothing to show for it, aside from seven or eight abortive, fractional starts, collections of partial paragraphs and half-finished run-on sentences.

I’ll spare you those, but as I’m having a hard day, I at least wanted to point out I sure did try, in the hopes of earning some partial credit.

Though poor Jess is now laid out with a cold (caught on the tail end of our immuno-supressed flu state; she’s predicting AIDS next on the rotation), I’m (for the time being, at least) feeling good, and working hard.

I am, however, pulling out my hair a bit on CrossFit NYC’s ongoing space search. In short, thanks to explosive membership growth, we’re now bursting at the seams in our current location, and though we’ve been searching hard for a suitable new home, we’ve mostly been coming up blank.

Our requirements:

  • 3000 sft or more;
  • $10-12k a month;
  • allowed to build in showers / locker rooms;
  • able to jump around and drop weights without bothering downstairs neighbors (whether that means basement or ground floor, or just an upper-floor light industrial space);
  • and, centrally located with good subway access (we’re currently at 38th and 6th, which is just about perfect).

A laundry list, I know. But, if you have any hot leads, I’d hugely appreciate an email, as I’m pretty sure bald isn’t my look.
