Well Jim,
You surely know how the layovers go. After many visits to the same place and having done all the touristy things, you kinda settle into your routine. Also, it depends on what is going on with your crew. My Cpt was doing his taxes, the IRO was studying for his CQT, so I did what I like to do anyway.
I had my nap....then got in my 3 mile run, where it was 66 degrees outside. Next, I went to the spa at the hotel, where they give us a 50% discount. I went down to the co-ed nude dry heat sauna for about 30 minutes, went outside to the lounger chairs and enjoyed cooling down in my birthday suit. Next, I went into the steam sauna and had a nice conversation with this Swiss blond beauty, where we made a good effort to communicate, with her accent and my Arkansas education, but fun. I found that it is possible to look at a beautiful woman's eyes and try to communicate, even though she is sitting naked in front of you. 🙂
Next, I went outside to the loungers again to cool down, before showering and heading to dinner. While sitting there, this old guy came out to the area......keep in mind this is a health spa. He is probably around 70 yrs old, but looks about 90, and has enough hair growing out of his ears that he looks like a teady bear. He is obviously about 40-60 lbs over weight. Next, he lights up his ###, to my amazment and thinks he is in heaven.
So, after I had dinner and was back in my room, I just couldn't help but think of you sitting behind your keyboard, chain smoking, and ridiculing your previous fellow workers. I just had to get involved at that point.
My Denver Nuggets basketball game is almost over, so I need to get outta here on my Harley and head up to Estes Park for a late lunch.....80 degrees here today. 🙂
Do yourself a favor and give up the fags.
