Of the happy

[scribblinlenore]

There's a new gym that has opened across the street from my office, and it has apparently hired Derek Jeter to brandwhore for them. They have his (gorgeous!) face plastered everywhere. On signage outside. On posters inside. There's even a video of him playing on a big screen above the membership desk. I keep finding excuses to walk by and linger. I was pretty seriously considering joining, although just because it's so pretty and Jeterian inside doesn't necessarily mean I'd actually use it. But then, our HR person investigated a corporate membership, and even that was Manhattan gym expensive. Which is more than I want to pay.

Oh, well. At least I'll always have their signage! It makes me happy.

Heh. Jeter is an honorary director at my agency. Love seeing his name on the letterhead!

Oh, that's so cool! It would make me happy every day to see his name on the stationery. :)

At first read I thought he'd actually be there and work out. With you. Bc then, I suspect, you'd join. :D

Hee! Yes, yes, Anita, you know me well. That would TOTALLY be worth every dollar.

I'll have to find an excuse to have lunch over there and ogle!

Yes! It's worth the trip!

I walked past that place after work today. When I saw the picture on the poster outside I thought they were having a signing with him or something.

Seriously. They have pictures of him all over the place. It brings me joy! :)

Jeter is actually a partial owner of the gym and claims to have picked the bathroom tiles (http://www.observer.com/2008/derek-jeter-s-new-gym-jeter-says-you-won-t-see-me-treadmill).

Okay, Punny, I never thought I find myself saying this but: I really, really want to join this gym!!!!
