Today I walked for 30 minutes on a treadmill next to a guy I'd seen there many times and have wave to but never talked to before.
His name is Bruce. He's Black, 65 years old, former Navy, married, has 10 kids, 22 grandkids, and is building a new bigger house to allow family to move back home with him.
Yes, I pretty much know his whole life story now. He was very pleasant to talk to and it made the 30 minutes on the treadmill go very fast. I look forward to seeing him again at the gym.

It’s nice when you meet new friends. Also good when you find something that makes the time go faster at the gym.

It really is.
Or nice when you just bump into someone and hit it off straight away

He said he had 45 people at his house for Christmas dinner. Several relatives stayed at his house and several got Air B&B and Hotel Rooms.

Probably a confidence trickster looking to meet a lady with money.
Read profiles saying the same things on FB
Always guys about Middle age, ex services, good looking, clever and plausible,
And the number of ladies who fall for it is unbelievable

Don't know about the black guy called Bruce but the girl in the pink pants is hot.
