Happy Memorial Day!  Thank you vets for your service to our country.

Last night I took half my Zoplicona at 10:30 and went to bed.  I got up once at midnight and again at 3:45 when I took the other half.  In time I fell back asleep and woke/got up at 8am.

I watched the first 20 minutes of the Today show and left for the gym.  Today the TVs were working but no wifi.  I completed all my exercises in 90 minutes.

Teresa returned at 12:45.

About 1pm I noticed we no longer have internet.  It came back 30 minutes later.

At 2:30 Teresa called a taxi for me, I walked outside and it was waiting there.  The driver dropped me off at the Chiropractor’s office at Carrera 43D #13-06 in the Manila barrio of Poblado (034 266 2183).  It was right across the street from the Tagliata restaurant that I’ve eaten at a few times with my brother.  I was 20 minutes early and there were 3 people ahead of me.  I could see into the back room and I saw him do that neck crack thing on a young lady. Yikes!  I was finally taken about 30 minutes after my appointment.  The doctor’s name is Daniel Bordelon and he’s from New Orleans.  He hadn’t put up all the plaques on his wall but I saw one from the US Army.

First they put heating packs on my lower back.  The doctor said I’m as stiff as concrete as he gave me a realignment treatment.  He also said I should get a harder mattress and recommended a memory foam one.  I have another appointment for Wednesday afternoon.

I walked to Cedimed where I picked up some of Teresa’s test results.  It appears she has slight osteoporosis but we’ll know more after we take the results to her doctor.

I walked across heavy traffic in Avenida Poblado and got on a Sabaneta bus.  It crawled thru the Gold Mile as I sat in the back fanning myself.  I finally got off at Doble Pizza and walked back to the apt.

Teresa said the gas man came and everything checked out okay.

I asked her if she wanted to go out for dinner tonight.  She said Otra Parte if it’s open.  I checked online and it appears it is.

Teresa took a quick nap while I took a shower to freshen up.

We left the apt at 6:30 and walked to Otra Parte.  We each had our usual juice and chicken pasta for 43mil.  I gave the waiter 50mil and told him to keep the change.

We were back at the apt just after 8pm so Teresa could see most of her Desafio program.

I finished reading James A. Michener’s Space – all 800+ pages.

8,644 steps today.

Joke of the day

A pretty blonde woman is driving down a country road in her new sports car when something goes wrong and it breaks down. Luckily, she happens to be near a farmhouse.

She goes up to the farmhouse and knocks on the door. When the farmer answers, she says to him, "It's Sunday night and my car broke down! I don't know what to do! Can I stay here for the night until tomorrow when I can get some help?"

"Well," drawls the farmer, "you can stay here, but I don't want you messing with my sons Jed and Luke."

She looks through the screen door and sees two men standing behind the farmer. She judges them to be in the early twenties.

"Okay," she says. After they have gone to bed for the night the woman begins to get a little horny just thinking about the two boys in the room next to her.

So she quietly goes into their room and says, "Boys, how would you like for me to teach you the ways of the world?" They say, "Huh?"

She says, "The only thing is, I don't want to get pregnant, so you have to wear these condoms."

She puts them on the boys, and the three of them go at it all night long.

Forty years later, Jed and Luke are sitting on the front porch, rocking back and forth. Jed says, "You remember that blonde woman that came by here about forty years ago and showed us the ways of the world?"

"Yeah", says Luke, "I remember."

"Well, do you care if she gets pregnant?"

"Nope," says Luke, "I reckon not."

"Then let's take these things off!"
