At the gym locker

"Hey, how's it goin'....haven't seen you in a while"

"Yeah, been kind of busy lately...."

"Oh yeah? Busy at work?"

"Yeah...kind of...."

"What routine are you doin' today?"

"Jus' gonna swim...."

"Nice....we should do laps sometime"

"I jus' learnt...not doin' laps yet....still in the practice pool..."

"That's cool...." *awkward pause*

"Alrity then...take it easy"

"See ya around!"

Normally, this conversation wouldn't be out of ordinary, except that this is the first time I'm talking to that person. I kept looking over my shoulders the whole time I was there.

Punchline for the day

"Before I started working with you guys, I thought Visa was a credit card and I-90 was an interstate."

You know you are ready for winter when you feel 30 F as pleasant.
