There is a certain mystery to an unfamiliar package. Yesterday, a purchase I made three years ago on Kickstarter arrived on my doorstep.

It is not entirely unusual for a passerby to spy me on the elliptical for a brisk 44 minutes. If you’d like to marvel at my lack of grace on low impact gym equipment, I’m most fond of the Aquatic and Fitness Center.

WiFi-connectivity is essential to timing my “workouts,” as 44 minutes is exactly the time it takes to watch a single episode of “The West Wing” on Netflix. What strikes me is that I’m very often the only man using the elliptical. Even as a boy, I was the only male elliptical user. (I would note, however, that my boyhood was relatively brief as it was interrupted by the occasion of my bar mitzvah and the impending manhood it brought with it.)

What I wouldn’t do for a good Danish — an incredible marriage of butter, sugar, yeast, eggs and cheese. These days, many would consider an amoeba with a neon cherry center a Danish. That is not a Danish. That is an insult to generations of bakers and homemakers who slaved to make the perfect cheese Danish. There has not been a proper cheese Danish made in the last 15 years.
