Today is gym day, and I had a great time at the gym. I managed to get a seated elliptical, which is no mean feat since they only have five and these are always in use.
Then a tiny man about 80-85 years old with a twisted up, very slight body, looking about half dead from old age, took the one next to me. We began to talk, and much to my surprise he is a retired mechanical engineer, spent his life working in oil production, and even better he is an Aggie! He got his engineering degree back in the day at Texas A&M like I did. So we had a great time talking for 20 minutes about A&M, our careers, and so on. After the gym, Frank and I went to lunch.
It was a beautiful day, high of about 80F and perfect for shorts and sandals (my preferred retiree attire!). This being December, it isn't predicted to last in our area.
