the gym

Unusual sightings at the gym tonight. After my workout, I went up to the stretching area and there were two guys wrestling on the mats and then, for a brief moment, a guy dancing while holding on to the stretching apparatus! But since neither disturbed my workout, they're still better than the creepy old guys. I'd consider going to a different gym, but this one has the best facilities and they just put in flat screen TVs.
