MAY 26, 17 .. THE BEAUTIFUL, MANIC-MIND .. I’m Still Smiling ..

Right away, as in immediately, when one of you begins to read this Post a little further down, you are going to say ..

“Cap! This has nothing to do with being manic-depressive. Things like this seem to happen to me each and every single day Cap!” / signed /  ‘ Z

Last night I had an amazing final 3-hours of sleep. I got up at 5am this early morning. I did-some-things, after which I then went-back-to-bed.

Usually, after I have slept for as many as 5-hours, IF I get up and do-some-things, I am off-and-running for-the-day. But this morning, I felt like going-back-to-sleep. I did so and this is when I had an amazingly, deliciously-restful 3-hours of additional sleep.

After I then got up for-the-day, I washed up and I cleaned up.

As I do daily, I decided to call Patti just to check-in, and share with Patti the news of this amazingly restful, 3-hour, sleep-in.

Now the story.

As I sat down in my E-Z chair to call Patti ..

Do you all see Mister phone peeking out at us from the far left edge of the above photo?

“Hello and a good morning to you Mister Phone.” .. “Hi Dad.”

As I sat down in my E-Z chair to call Patti, I thought ..

“Patti sent me an e-mail with some AT&T telephone-calling-card numbers that are still in use and valid. I will (1) get up, (2) turn on my laptop Mister Lenovo, (3) bring up her e-mail, (4) get the details of her e-mail, and then (5) make a call to Patti using these ‘elderly’ AT&T calling cards.”

So far so good. So far 100% totally normal.

I got up from my E-Z chair by the phone and I walked over to my work-table and fired up / and turned on Mister Lenovo.

“Oh For Goodness Sakes Captain! The above photo was taken in Trinidad, Colorado, a week ago. One of your followers will know this and there-goes-your-credibility Captain.”

“Just take a new photo Captain!”

OK I did.

And, after getting up from Mister Chair, I walked over to my work-table here at the Santa Fe Inn in Pueblo, Colorado, and fired up / and turned on Mister Lenovo.

Now, keep-in-mind, I am at my laptop to (1) open Patti’s e-mail, (2) get the AT&T telephone-calling-card info and (3) call Patti to tell Patti about my beautiful 3-hour nap this early morning.

YAHOO NEWS  wins yet again.

Instead of going directly to the Yahoo e-mail log-in, my eyes drifted down to an article on Yahoo News.

Yahoo News talked about the theft of climber’s oxygen bottles on Mt. Everest and people dying from this horrible situation. So I clicked onto the article.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/mount-everest-oxygen-theft-leaves-055958173.html

After I read the above article, I had to go to the bathroom. I did. Then, totally forgetting what I was going to do ..

(1) open Patti’s e-mail, (2) get the AT&T telephone-calling-card info and (3) call Patti to tell Patti about my beautiful 3-hour nap this early morning.

I decided to cut my hair. I did.

Then  I remembered I wanted to call Patti and tell her about my 3-hour sleep in.

Back to Mister Lenovo I went. This trip I went directly to Yahoo Mail. I did NOT glance at Yahoo News.

I opened Patti’s e-mail and retrieved the info about the AT&T calling-cards.

Then, while in Patti’s e-mail, I had NOT yet gotten the AT&T calling-card data, I decided to send to Patti and her niece the above link about oxygen bottle thefts on Mt. Everest. To do this, I went to my gmail accounts to send the link.

I was thirsty. Bad for me to be dehydrated. I got up and drank a slug (1 full liter) of Ensure / mixed with Water.

Back to Mister Lenovo. This time I finally got the AT&T calling-card info.

I went to call Patti.

“Dad! Where in the world have you been Dad? We two have been waiting for you to come back and make your call to Patti Dad!”

/ sign us your / E-Z Chair and Telephone

I dialed Patti. I stopped.

“I am going to get a stopwatch to time my calls to Patti to track-my-usage on the new-to-me AT&T calling-cards.”

My stopwatch is my Asia / Hong Kong / Mongolia Nokia cell-phone.

I could not find him.

I finally found him hiding in my suitcase.

His battery was dead. Find his charger.

I am sure, by now, you get-the-point here. 

“Yes ‘Zilla?” .. “Yes ‘Zilla! I finally made my call to Patti. YES ‘Zilla! I timed it with my now-recharged Nokia Asian cell-phone. My call to Patti was 1-minute 55-seconds ‘Zilla.

There have been times-in-my-life when it would have been tomorrow or longer before I made the call to Patti. IF in fact I ever made the call at all.

Last night, Thursday night the 25th of May 2017, I went out to explore Pueblo’s Historic Arkansas Riverwalk District, and in so doing, I found Angelo’s Pizza Parlor.

On the above Great Andrej-Map, in the lower right corner, you can see a

+ button and below it a – button.

IF you will ‘click onto them’ you can enlarge or reduce and explore Pueblo or even the entire world on the map.

So out and off and into Angelo’s I went for dinner.

Very nice outdoor seating. It was sort-of ‘threatening rain’. I sat inside.

Hello Angelo’s.

Look ‘Zilla! Just look will you ‘Zilla! 

There are actually some people here in Angelo’s ‘Zilla.

Nice wall-hangings.

I ordered a VEGETARIAN WRAP with fries.

It sure ‘looks great’. Read my tripadvisor review of Angelo’s by clicking onto the link a little further down below.

The sun has set. The rain was coming. The rain arrived after I was safely home. I was lucky because it was quite-a-walk to my truck.

I am going to explore the Pueblo Riverwalk in the daylight. I may try to ‘walk’ the Riverwalk. It’s a mile in length I’ve been told. Then again, I may pass on ‘walking the Riverwalk’ !

Below is the link to tripadvisor that I mentioned above.

Patti, IF you go to the link, you can easily return to this page after you read my tripadvisor Post by pressing the go-back arrow in the top left corner of your screen.

Well, that-is-that for this, another Post here on dot.NET.

Smiling, ear-to-ear. I sure am feeling good.

Sign Me .. Your Captain.

I was on-the-phone yesterday with my bank. In some detail I told my banking phone-agent, we had really great chemistry, about breaking my hip in the Dubai Airport. 

He said .. “I too broke a hip and had the surgery. It took me one full year until I felt really back-to-normal.”

Next Thursday, June the 1st, it will have been 6-months since my surgery.
