When luggage began appearing on wheels (yes I am that old, but its not like I remember the original wheel) I thought, of course. Actually I thought “We have been schlepping luggage around for how many years? Man, are we a bunch of dumb bunnies.” But it was a good and functional plan that has made air travel much more pleasant even as the airlines continue to do their best to make it much less so.

Here is my problem: I have begun to see people at my health club wheeling their gym bags in. This seems oxymoronic or at least moronic. First of all what is in your gym bag that makes it so difficult to lift? Secondly are you staying the weekend? And lastly if you are not inclined to carry your gym bag to and from the health club, you should probably sign up with a personal trainer because you, my lazy ass friend, are not likely to have what it takes to actually get yourself in shape.
