Packers and the Gym
On Thanksgiving the Packers were playing Detroit and I decided that since I was going to be sitting around eating most of the day I would be proactive and watch the game at the gym. So naturally I put on my Packers hat and went about my normal business at the gym.I've heard people say that the gym is a great place to meet people, but I actually have only met a couple employees so far. Most people just put on their headphones and stick to themselves so that's what I do too.
But Thanksgiving was way different. During the game so many people talked to me and I met more people than I have in the past 2 months of going there. People were congratulating me and telling me how much they loved the Pack and how excited they were for them this year. I learned where people were from since they would preface by saying, "I'm not from WI, I'm from (insert your city/state here) but I've always been a fan of the Packers."
Anyway, it was a lot of fun. Just goes to show that it only takes a small point of connection for people to open up start conversations.
