There's one thing that pretty much everyone at my office obsesses over and it doesn't have anything to do with money, investing, or the rare appearance of cheetos in the snack basket. The one thing that everyone has in common but doesn't talk about is a fixation on fitness. You might say that's not surprising given that we spend 12+ hours sitting in front of computers each day, but it's a little more complicated than that.
The weird thing is that no one really works out together or talks about it. Everyone has managed, through some twisted path of fate, to become an athlete of some sort. There are triathletes, fighters, swimmers, marathon runners, (basket)ballers, bodybuilders, we're even getting a model as an intern this summer, you name it. Everyone does something and most people do a few things. Somehow everyone has arrived at the same conclusion.
New Yorkers are some of the most fit people in the country, maybe behind Seattle or some city like that where people bike to Canada and back for kicks, but in general at the top of their game especially considering how little space we have to run around in. It's definitely rubbing off on me, I've lost 35 lbs and 30 points of blood pressure in the last 3 months and I'm signed up for some serious sports action this summer. People in New York don't say, "I look and feel great", it's really just a state of being that everyone embraces.
See Star Trek even if you've never seen the TV show. Actually, especially if you've never seen the TV show. It's quite good.

9) Go on a cruise at some point.
