OK, so I was awakened at 4am by the couple in the hotel room next to mine gettin’ it on… Needless to say I was wide awake and not going to get back to sleep, so I thought, hell, I better go find a pool.
The car rental guy took pity on me Sunday night when I got into BWI and gave me a 2006 Mustang GT - vroom vroom! Pretty sweet ride. So I head out in horrible weather, to find the Columbia Swim Centre.
Well, I find a pool after driving in circles for about 30min, but in Columbia, you have to buy a membership to use their community facilities (and it’s 5am, no way I’m going to drag a co-worker out of bed so I can swim). I decide I will go in and find a way to just give somebody some $ so I can swim w/o having to get some kooky membership. I walk in, there’s people swimming away, and no one at the desk. So I go to the pool deck, strip down, and swim a quick 45min. I figure by the time I get out, someone may be working at the front desk. 45min later, I get out, shower, dress, leave. There’s still no one manning the front desk. So I leave. Free swim has taken on a new meaning.
Now I’m at a Starbucks eating food (I think I only had chicken wings for dinner last night, oh yeah and some beer) and drinking a decaf. I feel so wired from lack of sleep and not eating the usual foods the thought of a full caff coffee is making ne nauseous.
So now I’m a petty criminal - stealing a swim. Better call the cops. Actually, know that I know where the KK is in Columbia, I can go find them and turn myself in…
