Last night at the Y I approached a staff member to ask why the spin schedule had changed. He gave me some made up answer and then ended with, “I really don’t know.” He then says, “I have a question for you.” Which led to the following conversation:
“Sure, what’s up?”
“Where did you go to high school?”
“I didn’t go to school in the area.”
“Oh because you look like someone I graduated with.”
“Tell me this, what year did you graduate high school?”
“02”
Pointing at myself I say, “92”
Jaw drops.
I told him I considered it a complement then added, for a little extra shock value, that I graduated college before he graduated high school.
I have to tell you the ten years he took off my looks led to a really good workout. I was feeling great before I even hit the cardio machine.
