GMAB (Give Me a Break) #1: Poolside Etiquette


   
      While at Victoria Pool in Saratoga Springs, there were four particular people speaking loudly (two different conversations at two different sides of the pool. Lucky me ... each time I picked up to move, I could overhear one of them.)  They spoke about their kids, how one should be at the front of the line because she's the kind of kid who will get lost in the back; how another one has a son who is generating so much laundry now that varsity football practice has kicked in, how her husband is 6'7"and can we believe it? and so much more.  Is this stuff interesting? Uhmm, let me think about that for a nanosecond.

NO.

Poolside etiquette: speak only at a decibel that can be heard by the person/peope right next to you.  In other words, speak softly. Why??  Because we don't want to hear you blabbing non-stop about your life and your kids when #1: we don't even know you, #2: we're trying to have a quiet afternoon swimming and reading and #3: We don't care about your life and your kids because #1: We don't even know you.

Give me a break.

Google Interactive Doodles -- Get in the Game!

If you are missing out on the daily Google doodles (go to Google's homepage), then you are missing out on the thrill of being an armchair Olympic athlete.  Don't be shy ... I'll wait ... hit the link. Put your athleticism to the test with such challenging solo competitions as "Synchonized Swimming," "Basketball," "Hurdles," "Javelin," "Football" and "Pole Vault."

Get in the game! I, myself, practice for hours and hours, and my muscles don't even hurt!  Even after multiple rounds (would we call it "regattas"?) of "Slalom Canoe."

I am surely a hopeful for the 2016 Google doodlympics.

Put yourself in a goalie position. Catch the Olympic Spirit right here ---> Google's homepage.
