Five things I witnessed at the gym today - plus one...

1. Lots of small dark skinned men in the Hawaiian uniform of all male work out dudes….sneakers, tattooed legs, board shorts, neon yellow Maui cement t-shirt & pod.

2. Courageously over weight people taking the steps to shed some pounds….but why of why do they wear spandex?

3. Lots of male body language, the secret hand shake & one shoulder arm clamp hug are two of my faves.

4. Older man (miuns underwear) wearing flimsy waaaaaaaaaay too short shorts.

5. Me – the only freckled haole in there (proper) laughing out loud listening to the #1 podcast in the UK “Russell Brand on BBC Radio 2”.

Yes, yes, I know, I know, I'm shallow and judgemental, but people - it's a 24 hour feak show out there………

And on another completely random other note, hands up all those who have laughed outloud inappropriately . Fantastic.

As you can imagine, the only comment you made of any interest to me was No.4 (or #4 for American readers). Perhaps the older gentlemen find letting their chariots swing low is a sign of feeling content with themselves and their image? If that's not the reason, then it may be that they're trying to attract the attention of young whipper-snappers like you.

I've just reread your entry and noticed the elderly men are "miuns"
underwear. You would have made a very good "written" Mrs Spooner.

Hey - ya cheeky buggers!

Mater; To plagiarize from my friend Paul, what can I say, I’m a fresh, candid, intelligent, inspiring, imperfect woman.

Whoever Paul is, I LIKE HIM. What an intelligent, observant "young" man he is. I have to put young in inverted commas 'cos he may not be but, there again, everyone is young compared to me :-)
If I were a member of the government in the Houses of Parliament my observation would be "I'd like to be associated with the words of the last speaker".
Let's raise our glasses to Paul - bless him and all who sail in him.

One last comment - HOW does Paul know you're imperfect.
