"nice weather you're having here at this GIGANTIC strip mall"

the only other thing i've noticed besides atrocious and over priced restaurant food is the proliferation of hot tubs. thereby enabling legions of sleazy guys to be lazy with their pick up lines. this was said to me yesterday as i huffed along on my treadmill:

"hot tubbing is the thing to do around here. after the gym."

if it seems awkward it was. if it seems like a lukewarm come one, it wasn't. simply because the invitation to tub was prefaced by:

1. a comment on my slammin bod
2. an enquiry resulting in my lamental comment "i am visting from new york". thus the "the thing to do around here" portion of the aforementioned weak come on line.

still, since my mother and i are moving at a decidedly middle aged pace it was a welcome diversion.

to sum up:

1. nice weather
2. strip mall
3. costly and medicore food
4. invitation to tub
5. 45-65 year old pace to daily activity

have a day!
