My dance move has seemingly turned into push-ups. Sometimes, especially if I've indulged a little bit in an evening, it's not out of the ordinary to find me, for some reason, doing push-ups. That seems to be my go-to dance move.

Late night writing is also good, too, but in New York, you've got neighbors. I try to be a good neighbor.
