January 10

I have ten minutes before I have to take Craiggy boy to his baseball game. It was in the low 60s earlier today when I offered to take him, and it is now in the low 40s with a cold front blowing through on a chill wind, and I have regrets. But I promised so the Prof could watch the pre-Cotton Bowl coverage, so I will have to layer up and suck it up.

In the eight minutes I have left, I thought I’d check in. I have joined a new gym – following my trainer. We were at one gym and he was having an issue with another trainer, so he left that gym and found a new one. And then that gym packed up and the owners moved a half hour away, so now we are at our third in a year. This one is fine – they’re all fine – I just follow my trainer. He runs groups of us, up to 6 at a time, and we have all been together for years, so I’m also following my friends. Anyhow this gym is run by a guy whose name is something like Travis, but he calls himself Master G, which is a little odd. He has several signs around the gym, including one motivational poster that he had professionally printed with his logo touting the benefits of “JUST SHOWING UP” every day, and it says “a one (1) hour workout is just 4% of your day.” And that is wrong. Right? If you divide 1 by 24, you get 16%. It’s 16% right? Every time I look at it, I get caught up in puzzling through the math.

It’s also predominantly male so the women’s bathroom is not well maintained. But . . . my people are there, and where my people go I go. 🙂
