Disturbed at the Y

So we've been taking advantage of our local YMCA (literally as Mel and I are not really members) pool every Thursday evening. The kids love it and it is good family fun.

That is until our swim time is over. This unfortunately coincides with the end of boys swim team practice. Teen boy hijinks I can handle. Their urge to beat up each other, crude boy humor and the "lets plug up all the drains in the shower" I am fine with (I may have helped a couple of times).

It is the lone naked hairy man I could do without.

Picture a soccer field with 12 13-year-old boys playing, a naked man is totally offensive there. Picture history class for 8th grade, a naked man again is totally offensive there. For some reason, Mr. Hairy Naked Man likes to shower surrounded by 12 13-year-old boys in lycra bathing suits. Am I the only one seeing something wrong with this? It is just a wrong vision to behold, I assure you. Disturbing to say the least. Now couple this with the fact that the boys are completely unsupervised (by parents or Y staff) and you've got a time bomb.

I don't even want to think what happens in the sauna (where Mr. Hairy Naked Man retires to after the shower).

Can anything be done? The guy has a right to shower. Maybe the Y should put a guy in there that offers grooming products and mints? I'd appreciate that.

But then I'd be worried about the guy they put in there to watch us.

Is that the same guy that was on "Friends?"

Ian goes Punk

It, of course is my fault. You could say that about most anything. But this, this is pure genius. Yesterday, he and I were headed to get haircuts. He says, "what kind of haircut are you getting Daddy?". I give my stock answer, "mohawk". He giggles and says, "me too, we'll be twins." He is smiling ear to ear. Next comes the part where I carefully extract myself from getting said mohawk. He says, "i don't care I am getting a mohawk." I saw ok thinking Mel will never allow. She says ok.

Five minute update

Sorry, 5 is all you get today...ok at least for now. Here are the top stories from the past week: Thanksgiving. What happens when you don't see family and don't eat Turkey? Not so bad, sorry family. We had a blast watching the parade in NYC, it was a beautiful warm day. The kids and mostly Mel enjoyed the floats and balloons. We'll be back next year. You can see a slide show of the images mel took, far too many up to the right -----> Best quote at a concert, Best thing to happen to my brother in front of me, "Sir, would you buy me a beer?" -underage girl at State Radio Concert. Probably the last 18 and older show we go to. Save the security team, we were the oldest folks there... And FYI, Rob didn't buy her one, what a good guy. Then we talked about if we'll still come to these concerts if Reagan happens to go to the same one... We decided she isn't leaving the house watching some young girl crowd surf... Prickly Pear is out of the water....
