The American Idle
Related to The Leadfoot, this person idles in the driveway until the Sox finish the inning. Drives the half-mile to the health club in summertime sunshine. Turns over the motor to go see a friend ... a block away. Solutions: 1) Kill the engine, and run the battery while listing to Castiglione. 2) Begin the workout with a run from the house to the gym. 3) Plan a little before turning the ignition over. 4) Or buy a Vespa.
