Posh Club

I got word yesterday that the outdoor pool at my club will re-open, after renovations, on December 4, about a month earlier than had been planned. This brightened my day. I have not been able to do my laps for a month, since the indoor pool was too crowded during this period. And I have not been able to bring SB2 to toss him around on the weekends. Which leads me to an interesting story.

SB2 has this tactile thing. After we give him a shower, he takes the towel and vigorously rubs it on his nose. He does the same thing with a napkin after his meals. So I brought him to the pool a few months back. I have to keep an eye on him as we enter the club. Part of the routine is to rub his hand across a concrete part of the wall at the entrance. He almost ran over a staffer in one attempt. He then likes to stop to check out the cafe. He doesn't go in, he just stares, then moves on.

As we entered the locker room to change, we passed a guy toweling off in front of the mirror. You guessed it. He was trailing me so I did not catch him in time before he grabbed one end of the guy's towel and wiped his nose. I suppressed a cackle and went to get the gentleman a fresh towel. I was relieved that he was quite understanding.

Do you want quantity or quality? Or both? I was considering saving this next one for another post, but my readership deserves all I got. This blurb from AOL represents the inutility of that fine organization as well as of Twitter. I'll spare us all by not providing the slideshow link.

"Following the trend of recent celebrities who tweet what they ink, singer Adam Lambert tweeted a photo of his brand new, large, and intricate arm tattoo. Lambert, known for his eccentric style and persona responded to fans saying, "it represents my Astrological Birth Chart, along with Pagan, Buddhist, and Greco- Roman Archetypes related to balance and the life cycle." Recently, Demi Lovato tweeted a photograph of her tattoo inked by famed tattoo artist Kat Von D.

Things really were simpler in the old days. It is quite unlikely that you'd ever hear the WWII Navy vet sipping a Bud at the bar say "It represents an anchor".

Hey, I just put SB2 on the school bus and some guy bicycles past wearing a surgical mask. Is the bird flu back?
