This morning I parked in the 90 minute free parking lot by my gym. With my workout bag over my shoulder, I locked my car and walked to the staircase. Behind me, I heard someone say a bright "Good morning!" I turned around and saw a thin man in his mid-70's, wearing a white button-down shirt, tie and a black vest, locking his Toyota Corolla as his wife was gathering her belongings.
Me: "Good morning!"
Elderly Gentleman: "How are you today?"
Me [still walking to the staircase]: "I'm fine, sir. How are you?"
Elderly Gentleman [with a dark smile]: "Oh, your turn will come soon enough."
Me: "..."
By this time, I had reached the staircase and promptly stopped. What the hell did that mean, exactly? While I was seriously considering walking back up the stairs to ask him that, the reason portion of my brain kicked in: "The parking is only free for 90 minutes and today is 'Weights'. So, get a move on." So, I walked down the staircase with this man's odd statement bouncing around my brain. So very weird...
Hmmm.
1. Are you now either thinner or fatter than you were last week?
2. Did he look gypsy-ish?
3. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being not cursed at all, 10 being soul-less, how cursed would you say you are now, compared to earlier in the week?

Maybe he's a gamer and he knows a gamer when he sees one? Maybe?
