Where's the Faith In Human Nature?

Well, I guess I'd better tell this one. Yesterday after work and my usual 40 mile round trip to Sabi's violin lesson, I thought I'd better do the right thing and work out before we came home. So we locked the car, walked in the YMCA, and after leaving Sabi in the children's room, I entered the Fitness room and, having no pockets, left my keys on a table and began the routine. 40 minutes later, feeling virtuous, I went back to the table and found no keys. To make a long story short (not my usual style), my keys went missing, along with my car, Sabi's violin, my purse, cards, check book, 2 pairs of glasses, cell phone etc., and most of all, my hearing aids, . Yeah, I know I shouldn't have left the keys there, but it was a habit for many of us. Never again.

After a day of dealing with all this, cancelling cards, phone, checks, etc, filing claims, checking on the police report, I guess things are somewhat under control. As I was walking through all this, I was regaled with war stories about car thefts in other health clubs and the general degenerate and unsafe society we live in.

Well, I've had a lot of unexpected and unpleasant surprises in the past few years. The work ethics promise that if you work hard will be rewarded hasn't exactly panned out, but what is one to do?

So I got back up on the horse today, drove to the Y in the car Nebur so kindly left me (he also picked up lock sets last night and re-keyed the house locks and re-set the garage door opener since my I.D. was also in the car- thank you Nebur). Of course, I left the car empty, locked it and carried my key and personal items with me from machine to machine. In any event, I got the endorphins going a bit and as I pumped, I thought about a man I knew who always looked for the best in life. So I wrote about my "Uncle Gordon" y me desahogué. That is the blog worth reading.
