This just in....

From the Boston Globe correspondent in Africa, re: living in Dakar:

One of the great benefits to being there is that it's almost impossible not to get swept up in the physical fitness craze. Thousands of young people every day run or work out along the water, especially near the university. So if you're a runner, or like volleyball, or lift weights, you'll find plenty of company.

It's fate, I tell you.

Is it bad that the reference to lifting weights makes me want to move to Dakar with you? Would that be cool with you? I'd be poor as shit but I'd totally protect you.
