And here we are, closing out the second week of the new year, and this morning in the gym there were more trainers standing around than there were people who came in to exercise. I guess the gym can ease off the staffing, now.

See you next year! Thanks for subsidizing my gym membership!

I can't help but think I am partially to blame for not hugging all the new people when they started. I probably discouraged them.... but hey, the gym is for physical fitness, not emotional well being. If you're having problems with your mental health, go see a shrink and stop doing curls on the squat rack.

Not directed at anyone here, of course.  Just putting it out into the universe.

The parking lot at my joint is still filling up about an hour ahead of what I'm used to.  Typically takes the entire month of January before it calms down.

I think you'd discourage them more by hugging.

Gym was PACKED this morning, more people than even right after New Year's.  The stairmasters were groaning under the stress.  Fat content was WAY up.  Delayed resolutioners?

Probably folks who wanted to avoid the early rush.

That place isn't going to know what's up when I disappear for 10 days in June on a father/son scuba road trip.  They're going to be all "Where the fuck is GORDON?  His dedication really motivates me."

You can tell all the locker room buddies you spent a few days going down with other guys.

Fuck you, old people, loading up the pool during lap swim with your numerous flotation devices and turtle-like movements.  Fuck you all.

So the other day I go up to the gym, and there's a chair there that I sit on for 30 seconds while I get my earbuds and gloves and shit on, out of my bag.  With my fucked up feet I have a hard time standing still and doing shit like that so I like sitting on that chair to do it.

Anyway, I get up there and this fat old guy is slumped in the chair with a blood pressure cuff on his arm and a pulse monitor on his finger with wires running to some device he was carrying.  Eyes closed, not moving.  He was in my spot so of course I hoped he was fucking dead.... I am usually in a foul mood in the mornings.



Anyway, I went elsewhere and hung up my jacket and shit, and then some other fucking old person was in my usual stretching spot on the wall... wished death on them... and my backup spot had a view of the fat guy so I took a secret pic.  He still hadn't moved.  As I stretched I was looking at him, not flinching.  About 5 minutes after I took that pic one of the trainers noticed him, and woke him up or whatever the fuck, and helped him up, and helped him the fuck out of there.

Jesus christ.

And sometimes in the pool when it is full of the floating dead being in my way I wish Death, the literal incarnation of Death, would hear my thoughts and sweep over the water laying his icy gaze upon all of them, and then give me a nod for the "heads up" as he returned to the ether.  I would push their floating corpses out of my lane and finish my laps, and I would sleep very well that night.

My mother-in-law is really making me hate the elderly.
