This was the scene outside the gym when I got there one morning. It was a paramedic truck, 'uh oh'. The receptionist told me a man had passed out in the men's change room. Anyway, I started my workout after that. I had been on the treadmill for about 15 minutes when the alarm went off in the building. It was not turning out to be a good day. Fortunately, it was not the kind of alarm where we had to exit the facility and I was able to finish my workout.
On another occasion I met a friend I hadn't seen in awhile. She told me she had just returned from 5 weeks vacationing in South America, mostly based in Argentina. They even took a cruise out of there. Her husband was ready to come home after 5 weeks, but not my adventurous friend. She can't wait to go off somewhere again. They are enjoying their retirement.
I have plans to go walking with 3 different girlfriends over the weekend. Spring's in the air!

sounds like a wonderful weekend!
I consider cruiae ships "floating prisons" and have no desire to go on one.
I bet they get a lot calls for gyms
I hope the man was ok! I always worry about passing out at the gym when I go a bit too hard on the elliptical lol
I don't like cruises either Gigi.
Gracious! Five weeks is a long time to be away from home. Three weeks is good enough for me.
Your gym story reminded me of the death of the man with whom I did some of my student teaching. He was quite the health nut, eating healthy, running marathons, and working out in the gym each day after he retired. One day, after his workout, he collapsed at his locker and died. I always say, gyms can kill you.
