Dead Weight

Today I schlepped 1.58 miles to the Argos – think Service Merchandise meets Kmart pre-attempt-at-trendiness – to buy a scale.

I have never owned a scale. I’ve always used the ones at the gym, or not used one at all. But I just switched gyms last week and didn’t see a scale in the locker room.

I researched scales on the Internet. I price-shopped. I walked past pubs filled with rowdy Arsenal fans who’d been drinking since 9 a.m. to get to the Argos. I waited on line to pay, then to pick up my package.

When I got it home, the scale didn’t work.
