  + Perhaps is the clouds, perhaps it's the day of Mon, but for some reason, I have been quite comtemplative and observant today. While driving to work, I was behind this sport beheamoth vehicle that was sporting an environmental license plate and was struck by the irony of a gas guzzling monstrosity supporting the natural wilderness it's destroying.
hmmm.... Since Mondays are my late days at the Julian Center (I don't arrive until 12! ), I go to the gym in the morning because then I feel like I have had a productive morning. Since I have been doing this for the better part of five months now, I have some regulars that I swear with: the Washington Fire Dept makes an appearance if I get there early enough, the extremely skinny lady who runs like a ostrich, and these gals who once gave me some lip for using the very treadmill they ALWAYS use.
Anyway, today I was especially intrigued with some randon folks who came to join my workout sess. First there was the man who was dressed in a navy turtleneck, khakis, and brown loafers going for a brisk walk on the treadmill (I was waiting for him to start jogging, but no such luck).
Then there were two adolescent boys lifting weights in their school uniforms and yahmechas (sp? and btw, I belong to the Jewish Community Center's gym, despite being a gentile). So now it's cool to skip school and head to the gym? Lastly, as I was leaving, I overheard these ladies discussing eggplant. One was apparently pissed at some chef who did not make the eggplant soft enough and was complaining that "eggplant should be like butter, melt in your mouth" (I was really tickled by the "like butter" being uttered at the JCC) and she was going to have words with this poor chef.
All in all, I had a great workout and threw some great pervs!
