So, I'm at the gym last week combing out my hair in the bathroom. I'm not particularly fond of showering there, but some days it's a necessity. I'm minding my own business when two older ladies walk in (think early 70s). They're holding rain-bonnets in their hands and have blueish eyeshadow on.
Lady:"So you have to bring your own padlock?" (I realize the woman is talking to me.)
Me:"Oh, yea, if you want one on your locker."
L:"How long have you been a member?"
M:"About two weeks."
L (a little surprised):"Oh, well, do you like it?"
M:"My husband's been a member for a long time and he really likes it. It seems to have all the basic things."
L:"Yes, and there's a place for refreshments around the corner." (We all laugh thinking about the pastry shop just at the other end of the shopping strip.)
We part ways and I smile to myself because these ladies don't look at all like they'd frequent a gym.
So I'm at the gym this morning after I dropped Jeremy at work. And who should be there? Those two ladies. One using a weight machine, the other one standing by observing. Kind of cute!

Your post made me smile as it brought back memories of when I joined a gym ... in Beijing. There's nothing quite like naked older Chinese women, waltzing around the shower room, chatting it up with their old friends, and leaving a foreigner very -- shocked and disturbed. :)
Then they likely resembled me!vbyfm
We need pictures of these two working out! :) If your new Canon is too obvious, can you get one with your cell phone?
