In The Groove

Yesterday was an odd day.

So...we took our kid to the local arcade/indoor amusement area yesterday. As I walked around, I noticed a guy who appeared to be my age or older (30+), playing the dancing game "In The Groove 2, which is much like the uber-popular Dance Dance Revolution. Upon further investigation, I noticed this guy was sporting shorts and a t-shirt and runners, and had a visible ring of sweat on his shirt. During the entire 2 hours that we were there, this guy stopped playing the game only long enough to catch his breath and/or throw down the gauntlet with a competitor. Call me strange...but I found the whole scenario bizarre...a lone adult playing a dancing game in a children's arcade for hours on end, sweating profusely as he hammered out a myriad of quick steps in time to the the blur of moves on the screen. Unless he is in training for the next road show of Lord of The Dance...I find it to be.....er...strange.

Then at the grocery store, I spied some guy coming in wearing full horse riding gear....the little helmet, high boots, fitted pants, etc. I am just curious as to why he did not bother to remove the helmet...you know, leave it in the car maybe? Unless maybe the horse was strapped to the cart corral.
