Despite some PAX being away on vacation and others nursing injuries or recovering from illness, 5 PAX posted for an afternoon workout. The temperature was pleasantly in the upper 70s.
As we waited for all the PAX to arrive we were approached by a group of adolescent girls who tried to recruit us for a film they were planning. They needed “an old man and a serial killer”. Not the profile I hoped we invoked. I can see the “old man” profile as 3 of us are in the “respect” category for F3 and after all, “old” to an adolescent girl can be anyone over 25! I guess they thought Myra or Picasso looked like a potential serial killer. We told them to get in touch with our agents but that we were pretty booked at the moment. Afternoons in the park definitely have a different vibe as we share the park with a lot of different people in the community. It is good.
