A 2 Nap Day

I can't remember what I did today.  No, I'm not drunk or stoned.  Life is definitely slowing down. 

 There was no one working on my house today and I couldn't even work up a good resentment.  

Should I start worrying about myself?

The antibiotics are kicking in and my sinus infection is on the way out.  Man, do I feel better.  I took a 2 hour walk today and it felt wonderful.  I have been dragging and didn't even know it.

Last night I decided to go to Christophe's restaurant and have his spectacular fish.  When I got there, every seat was taken (only about 20 seats).  And, no one had been served yet so waiting was out of the question.  I went the long way around to Aura's, a small Panamanian house restaurant, and it was closed.  Damn, they have great fish too.

By this time I was not only hungry but frustrated.

I stopped at Amigos, mainly a bar but serving food.  It was packed with gringos and Hispanics.  A couple I know invited me to sit with them which was great because I was feeling low by this time.  We had to shout to carry on a conversation.

This leads me to my point.  Why do drunks talk so loud?  Now, this should be a rhetorical questions because I used to be a major drunk.  You guessed it, I was too drunk to remember.

Sitting next to me was a young lady, well not a lady, she was too drunk to be classified a lady. She had one of those voices that resembles a fog horn driven by 3 dozen air compressors.  Her voice was thin and sharp with a stiletto, penetrating quality. like an ice pick pounded through your ear.  As I would speak to my friends, she would say something--she talked incessantly all evening about I don't know what--and I simply could not maintain my thought.

She blasted my sensibilities right out of my head.  To bad I was trying to spend time with my friends.  

She should rent herself out to crazy people.  All she will have to do is talk and whatever insane nonsense was embedded in their thinking will be exorcised out...simply with her voice.  She could be a one woman psychiatric clinic with a 100% success ratio.

If I am ever nuts again, and you can count on that, I will look her up so she can stop my crazy thinking with her VOICE.  I'm sure she could be an asset to Panama if utilized as say a strategic weapon or something.

It is beyond me how Amigos stays so busy.  All they serve is deep fat fried food which is way over priced.  I hope the booze is good because there is no other reason to go there.  Well, during the day, a lot of people go there and hang out so it is useful to meet friends...and they have the best wifi connection in town.  But, I can't for the life of me figure out why we eat their food!

After we ate, we all said, "Live and learn!"  The learning curve is steep here.  

Doesn't matter, I still love Panama.

I included a picture of our guest house just to spur those of you planning on visiting into action. Roofs on, not far to go!  Get your airline tickets while they are still cheap.
