…and it’s ticking away with my sanity.
Exhibit A:
Last week I exchanged 20 hours of time for 60 miles walked…
Exhibit B:
Had a good long walk this time…
Saturday morning it was time to see the hilarious Dr. Yu. I walked over to Soonchunhwang University Hospital where he gave me the document I needed to get Blue Cross to pay for last February’s physical. Dr. Yu checked my blood pressure and it is a much improved 135/90. Wrote me a prescription and I was on my way to Namsan.
Took time to enjoy the Lilly pond…
There’s always time to snap a photo of flower blossoms, right?
Got home after three hours on the mountain, showered up, and headed over to Sin Bin for the dart league end of season tournament.
On my way I saw this oddly named restaurant. Next time my truck driving younger brother makes it to Korea he’ll have to eat here…
Anyway, I chose not to play in the tournament, but I stayed for the awards and raffle.
My team took second place this time.
When it was time to pass out achievement pins my bag contained these…
I invested W10,000 in raffle tickets and walked away with an expensive dart set when my number was drawn.
I’m gonna have to find some time to see if they work better for me than my current arrows…
I had four Miller Lite beers at Sin Bin then took a roundabout walk to Shenanigans (needed to up my step count for the day). Switched over to gin and sodas and was feeling buzzed and hungry. So I stumbled back home and made a salad loaded with chicken breast on top. The appetite now satiated and since it was only 7:00 p.m. on a Saturday night, I decided to venture back out to the mean streets of Itaewon.
Wasn’t quite ready to start drinking again so I wandered over to the Thai massage joint. A talkative Thai lass rubbed me down with aroma oil for a relaxing hour. And no, she didn’t offer and I didn’t ask.
Feeling refreshed, I walked over to Grand Ol’ Opry where I enjoyed country music and cheap gin and sodas. Left there and made my second appearance of the day at Shenanigans. Turned out to be a very nice time there. Home drunk (again) and in bed by 11:00. Slept with the fan on all night for the first time this summer.
Up bright and early at 0600. Popped a pot roast in the slow cooker and then hit the road for the Han river.
I’m missing kissing time.
I didn’t take time to count, but I’m told there are 63 floors in the 63 building…
On the way back I encountered a large festival in celebration of Philippines Independence Day. It felt a little awkward since the independence was from American colonialism. Everyone appeared to be having a good time though.
Who knew there were so many Pinoys in Seoul. Took some time to make my way through the crowd…
Got back home after almost four hours on the road and the house was full of the pleasing aroma of pot roast. It will be ready in four hours time…
In the meantime, I had time to prepare a lunchtime salad. Everything is better with bacon!
Today’s weigh-in finds me at 223.3, down 1.4 pounds from last week and 45.9 overall. I’ll take it.
And now it is time for a nap.
