I went to the gym today even though I was exhausted. Sometimes that works but I think I might have been better taking today off. I had to slow everything down because I didn't re-energize as sometimes happens at the gym, but slowing everything down forces one to think outside of the box, so that isn't all bad.

At 7 I ran into Judith as I was leaving and she asked if I wanted to go with her to a class. I said a suprised "No!" Lately I got obsessed with whether she was from Guatemala because she looks like one of my students who is Guatemalan. I've been wanting to ask but feeling like maybe it wasn't P.C. So, as sometimes happens, my mouth just busted out with, "Where are you from, I mean, you remind me of one of my students from Guatemala, so..." She seemed fairly chill about it and told me she is from Hong Kong. Aw, the joy of another factoid about Judith! I said that Hong Kong sounds really cool, and she said, "It's like New York City!" She was wearing clothes that have that half dyke half straight sensibility, very odd yet appealing! She was wearing a hot pink t-shirt with a Ralph Lauren brown suede vest. I complimented her vest, and she said, "I get so many compliments on this vest." Glad to know I'm not the only one intrigued by Judith.
