Mar. 1st, 2014 06:52 amToday's adventure will be to get proof of the promise of old age. My Medicare advantage insurance includes a Silver Sneakers card which, supposedly, gets me into a huge number of gyms and athletic clubs for free. According to the Sneaky Seniors website, I will be able to walk into the Olympic Athletic Club in Ballard and use their facilities at no cost to me. The Olympic Athletic Club has two swimming pools - one of which is a 24 hour lap pool.
I am skeptical of the whole Silver Sneakers thing in a too good to be true way. But, I'm going to find out for sure this morning. My plan is to be there about 8:15. I should be able to find a parking place easily at that time. If my let me swim for free scheme fails - yeah that Silver Sneakers thing is a scam we don't really honor - the city pool not far from there has lap swimming from 9-10 so I'll go there.
So that's the plan.
This afternoon's plan is to add a wifi adapter to my new desktop so I can drop the network cable that crosses the living room. Then there is a ballgame on the radio and stuff on TiVo and bears to knit.
Sometime this weekend I need to line up the bears for their photo - delivery day is Monday. I still have the rest of the bathroom to finish cleaning out. No hurry.
