Mark Twain once said, “Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and
nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.”
I don’t know about tasting squishy guts from a biology project literally, but
I am an expert in the exercise metaphorically. I’ve been training with
Claude O’Connor at Shamrock Boxing Club first thing in the morning for
the past five years, and I’ve yet to leave his gym without at least two new
and mysterious pains.
You’d think that would be reason enough to stop going, but I’ve always
been an addict for anything that challenges me on a physical level and gets
my heart pumping with adrenaline. As a rule, aches and pains are normally
a consequence of that.
To be honest, aches and pains and inconveniences are a huge part of life.
With over seven billion people in the world, it’d be pretty impossible for
everyone’s everything to go to plan.

My sister Lizzy says my outlook is the result of a privileged upbringing—
one she likes to remind me was shockingly different from her own, despite
the same set of parents. But when Randy and Beth Houston had me in their

Suddenly, it wasn’t about the recommended milestones and keeping up with
the Joneses—or anyone else, for that matter.
My mom said I was an unexpected gift, and come hell or high water, she

I proudly march to the beat of my own drum, even if my march has a limp
on my way to the subway entrance at 59th Street.
With my AirPods in my ears and the sweet sounds of Led Zeppelin
providing the soundtrack for my early morning, I scan my MetroCard and
step on to a nearly empty train with my gym bag and a drink carrier filled
with three meticulously planned Starbucks coffees.
The morning rush hour has yet to commence, but that’s mostly because it’s
so early—not even six thirty yet—and the people who actually care about
sleep are getting in every last wink they can.
For me personally, the world’s full of too much stuff to spend any more
time than I have to looking at the insides of my eyelids.
Just as the subway takes off for its next stop, my phone buzzes with a text.
It takes a juggling effort to free it from my pocket and check the screen, but
at this hour of the day, I’m too curious to let it go without looking.
My inbox has three unread messages, and after scrolling past the two from
last night from Mary-Jamba Juice and Callie (Whole Foods Columbus
Circle), I click the one I’ve just received from my larger-than-life cousin.
