Many many years ago, during the year that I was living in Santa Ana, Calif., I joined a gym and every month there was a charge of about $7 to my credit card even though I can count on one hand the times I ever used that gym because I felt too weird going there alone and anyway then I moved away too far north for that to be convenient. I forgot about that. I wonder if I ever got around to cancelling that bill. I really don't remember.
