Early Bird

The Early Birds.  Joe and Mary.

 

I have been going to the YMCA for exercise and am enjoying getting my Super Human strength back.  i met a 'cute little old lady' last week.  She sits in the lobby area in a string of chairs, either alone or with friends.  She says 'HI' to everyone walking by.  i asked her if she was there to work out?  "I am already done.  I'm an early bird."  So every day when i see her i say, "hello early bird."  Friday after i finished my workout and was drippy, sweaty, i went and sat by her.  Asked her how she was...   We visited for a few minutes when up walks her husband.  She says, "we started coming her 25 years ago, when he turned 70."  She and i decided the secret is to Get Started and then Dont Stop.   (her words)   *note:  there are lots of very athletic seniors there every day.  many use more, heavier weights than i do.  But i'm quickly catching up.  (she is 89 with a birthday in March)

I am including these houses because i think they are 'Florida Bungalows.'  An architecture that is something new to me.

I rode my bike to the Publix grocery this afternoon for some quick dinner supplies.  Upon arrival i met this gentleman coming out of the store.  He saw my attire and said, "You have a better looking outfit than me."  I disagree and didnt realize we were having a competition. But it did make me think about how Pirates are viewed by the general public.  I'll want to be careful what i wear.  I have to represent!  I'm only a few years away from being a cute little old man...
