TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, August 5, 2013

Greetings Infomaniacs,

So, the gym that I go to offers a Member Appreciation Day every month, and this celebration always includes a feast of greasy, fattening food. I think it's nice of them to do something for their members, but why not offer healthy options like fruits and veggies, or salads?

Instead, I worked out last night while the smell of buffalo wings continually wafted past my nose. If I wanted to smell hot wings while I exercised, I would just run laps around the local Buffalo Wild Wings!

Enjoy!
Melissa
