Fogies Exchange Pound

Gold's Gym, Grand Avenue
9:36pm Tuesday 7/15
Two white men over sixty-five approach one another in the cardio area. Hands outstretch, some fumbling ensues and then--a pound! "Heh, fist bump?" says one, and the other nods. They go their separate ways.

I love Oakland. And thank you, Michelle.

Peculiar follow-up: In the ten-minute window between starting this post and publishing it, another unlikely pound took place right in front of my desk! Are you there, God? It's me, Clebbie.
