and the beat goes on!

So the eager neophyte that insisted I wear shoes turns the other cheek at other members without shoes. Go figure. #restonsportandhealthfail

 

 

 

A double standard

 

So as you know yesterday, some eager neophyte at #restonsportandhealth busts  my chops for riding the stationary bike with just socks on and no tennis shoes.  Club rules she says and emphatically lets me know.  30 years plus of riding with no shoes and 15 of those at this club.  Not a word except a few jokes from the trainers.  “maybe we need to set up a toning regime for your ankles”.  Be still  my heart.  A kick boxer training in the gym today on the punching bag.  No shoes and no socks and not a word!!   Like I said yesterday, focus on what is important.  You will make a better place for members to visit.  And please leave me alone #restonsportandhealth.

 

 

 

#restonsportandhealth

Here we go again.  Been gone for two weeks.  Come back and get on the stationary bike like I always do and have done for 15 years.  I ride without shoes so my calves don’t cramp .  Been doing so for 30 years and 15 of them at this gym.  Not a word from anyone and in fact many of the staff joke about it.  So some new eager neophyte shows up and starts telling me the club rules. Shoes required on the floor.  I am not on the floor.  I am on a bike.  Instead of paying attention to the basics keeping the place clean, they are busting my balls about not wearing shoes.  #fail  When will they ever learn?  If you start implementing just one of the many suggestions made by members, perhaps members will start respecting and paying attention to you!!  #restonsportandhealth still sucks!

 

 

 

 

The genius of David Bowie

Last night, while flipping through channels, I stumbled upon a documentary on David Bowie.  Watched it for a while.  Have always been a fan and impressed by his musical genius.  Little did I know that it was him that gave an unknown backup singer named #luthervandross or a sax player named #davidsandborn the jumpstart to their successful musical careers.  A bit to trivia I felt was worth sharing.  Take a listen and look here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydLcs4VrjZQ

Challenger remembered

“The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and "slipped the surly bonds of earth" to "touch the face of God."
