DEC 12, 12 .. VERTIGO .. TODAY'S ROLLER COASTER RIDE .. OH MY OH MY !

Today is ..  12 / 12 / 12 ..

Today was a ROLLER COASTER RIDE !

FIRST  .. Patti will NOT (see yesterday’s writing) be going back North to Alaska to attend to her situation regarding administration of the estate of her deceased friend.

Patti is cancelling her trip North to Alaska BECAUSE I SPENT THE AFTERNOON IN THE E.R. (Emergency Room) here at the Lafayette, Louisiana, General Hospital / Medical Center and Patti wants to stay with me until ‘things subside’ here with me.

WHAT’S UP WITH ME?

Yesterday I took a late afternoon nap of several hours.  I awoke .. I sat up .. and I promptly came close to fainting.  So I immediately lay back down for about half-an-hour .. then ‘very very slowly’ I eased my way up into a sitting position on the edge of the bed.  I felt slightly better but I still experienced a very ‘woozy’ and ‘disoriented’ feeling.  This morning I felt the same .. ‘woozy’ and feeling ‘disoriented’.

Then Patti and I went to a noon meeting .. I felt absolutely no change in my symptoms so following the meeting we checked into the Emergency Room here at the Lafayette General Hospital / Medical Center.

After the ‘in processing’ paper work was completed .. they put an ‘I.V’ into my arm and they drew a blood specimen .. my blood pressure / temperature were  taken .. I was hooked up to an ‘oxygen monitor’ .. I had a consultation with an ‘E.R.’ Doctor .. an ‘EKG’ of my heart was taken .. then a chest x-ray ..  then a ‘Cat Scan’ of my head (an adventure) .. I was ‘hooked up’ to a heart monitor .. then a lying prone / sitting / standing series of three blood pressure readings were taken .. several staff members attended to me all-the-while.

BOTTOM LINE .. GOOD NEWS .. no stroke symptoms and no heart attack symptoms ..

I had /  I am having an ‘attack of’ Benign Positional Vertigo’!  Troublesome but not usually serious.   Loss of balance .. dizziness .. feeling sick to one’s stomach .. throwing up .. blurred vision ..

HOME CARE .. lie down and rest and eat a balanced diet .. move slowly .. avoid falls .. no sudden body or head movements .. take prescribed medicine .. Meclizine 25mg (Antivert) .. 3 times a day .. be on guard for stroke symptoms and severe headaches developing ..

I feel quite tired so will call-this-a-wrap .. we are staying over again here in Lafayette, Louisiana, so I will know things have stabilized with this vertigo.

AS WE TWO HANG ONTO THE ROLLER COASTER SEATS ..

We send to you all our very best .. Cap and Patti ..     

DEC 7, 12 .. SO LONG SAN ANTONIO .. HELLO LAFAYETTE LOUISIANA ..

SAN  ANTONIO  SPURS  114 - 92  HOUSTON ROCKETS

It is TOTALLY ENJOYABLE when the home team blows out an arch rival (both teams are based here in the State of Texas so are in-state rivals) BECAUSE the joyous mood within the Stadium affects all present in a positive manner!  It especially affects the mood of the drivers leaving the venue. 

Getting to the game .. parking .. handicapped assistance .. EXITING THE STADIUM WAS THE BEST EVER IN MY LIFE FOR ANY MAJOR SPORTING EVENT .. I mean after the game we ‘flew out’ of the Stadium Parking Lot .. at the limit and onto exit roads with three lanes of traffic moving at-the-limit right to and onto Interstate 10 which was also flowing at-the-limit.

NOW IT IS APPROACHING 12 o’clock midnight Friday, December 7^th, and we will SOON BE ON-THE-ROAD for Lafayette, Louisiana, about 415 miles East 100% on I-10 which is literally out the door from our Motel 6 here in San Antonio.  We will drive all night tag-team driving between Patti and myself.

TOMORROW NIGHT IT WILL BE LIVE CAJUN MUSIC AT MULATE’S IN BREAUX BRIDGE, LOUISIANA !

We can hardly wait .. our names are at the top of their reservations-for-dinner book.

MUCH JOY FROM YOUR ROAD WARRIORS .. Patti and Cap ..

DEC 7, 12 .. WE .. ARE .. IN .. SAN .. ANTONIO .. TEXAS !

IF .. BY SOME SLIM CHANCE .. I CAN ASSIST ANY OF YOU READING ALONG HERE IT IS AS FOLLOWS:

WHEN I AM ABLE 'TO OWN’ SOMETHING .. YOU TOO CAN DO THE SAME .. ‘OWN IT’ AND MOVE ON !

“What’s that ‘Zilla” .. “Read on and you WILL-GET-IT ‘Zilla” ..

‘HEAH WE GO’ !

From the heading you already KNOW Patti and I are now safely in San Antonio, Texas .  Yesterday and the day before  (and I STRESS that .. in my own self-defense .. the following suggestion was tentatively spoken and it was not delivered with anything approaching FIRMNESS) I told Patti that ‘maybe’ we should leave Dallas/Arlington/Fort Worth, Texas on Friday morning .. drive to San Antonio on Friday .. and .. still on Friday .. find and attend the NBA Professional Basketball game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Houston Rockets ..

Patti just sort of looked at me with a look of ‘I DON’T THINK SO’ and THAT WAS THAT .. END of THAT 'temporary madness' !

The drive South from the Dallas Metro Area to San Antonio (MapQuest and Yahoo Maps) is about 280+ miles and quoted as taking from four to five hours depending on the speed-at-which-you-drive.  So I thought that we could leave Arlington, Texas,  about 9AM or 10AM.. drive five hours .. get into San Antonio about 2PM or 3PM .. find the AT&T Center .. park and attend a 7:30PM game ..

We actually left Studio 6 in Arlington, Texas, about 12:45PM yesterday afternoon.   FORGET my concept of leaving at 9AM or 10AM!   

To be sure I would not forget to mail them .. I had put a dozen post-cards to-be-mailed-in Arlington on the dashboard of our truck in-plain-sight right-in front-of-me .. the Post Office was at-the-most a five minute one mile drive away.

So as we left our Studio 6 .. I DROVE AWAY WITHOUT MAILING THEM.  This series of never ending Senior Moments completely  and totally BUMMED ME OUT!  Patti said “Let’s just find a Post Office and mail the postcards so you can ‘let-this-angst-go’”.

THIS SENIOR MOMENT (NOT mailing the post cards at the Post Office ‘next door to us’) COST US AT LEAST ONE FULL HOUR.  We finally found a Post Office in Mansfield, Texas, thanks 100% to an AT&T ‘High Tech Employee’ who pulled out his ‘Tablet’ and gave us precise directions in about 30-seconds in a gas station off Highway 360 South from Arlington.  What a job it turned out to be finding the Mansfield, Texas, Post Office.  But we did and I mailed the post cards.

Then with Patti Driving (I was sleeping in-the-back) we got through Waco, Texas, and about 50 or-so-miles North of Austin, Texas .. It was about 5PM in the afternoon .. Patti pulled into a Texas Rest Stop to take-a-break and I ‘struck-up-a-conversation’ with a gentleman in the parking lot of the Rest Stop.  It is not unusual for others to notice our Alaska License Plates and this gentleman did and came over to speak with me.

IN FRONT OF BOTH PATTI AND MYSELF .. in closing our conversation this gentleman WHO WORKS AND WHO LIVES IN AUSTIN told us both .. in STRONG and in FIRM TONES .. “Do NOT go through Austin on I-35!  TAKE the Hwy 130 cut-off AROUND Austin!  It is a toll-road and will cost you about $15 BUT TAKE THE TOLL ROAD!”

DO TWO 'DING-A'LINGS' MAKE THEE A BELL?

Patti and I together decided NOT to take his advice .. to save $15 and to ‘experience’ Austin, Texas, as we drove-through-in-the-dark-of-night.

Well we ‘experienced’ Austin, Texas, on I-35 South in-the-dark during rush-hour traffic.  It equaled the WORST RUSH-HOUR TRAFFIC I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED!  It equaled the WORST Los Angeles and the WORST New York City and the WORST Chicago and the WORST San Francisco rush-hour traffic of my life!

And it cost us AT LEAST a full hour of time!  It was lock-step .. stop totally .. wait .. move 10-feet .. stop totally .. sit .. sit some more .. move maybe 20-feet .. you get-it you who KNOW serious rush-hour grid-lock traffic .. but in tiny little 'ol Austin, Texas?

We two finally rolled into Motel 6 here in San Antonio at 8:37PM .. the four to five hour drive took us close-to eight hours.

AND WAS I EXTREMELY HAPPY THAT I HAD LISTENED TO PATTI AND WE DID NOT DO THIS DRIVE TODAY .. Friday, December 7, 2012 .. else Patti and I would have been ‘BOMBED’ on Pearl Harbor Day by the drive South from Dallas/Fort Worth and we would have either missed our game or arrived totally exhausted!

Now we have all-day to find and park and enjoy the game.  Then after the Spurs game we will rest up and head for Lafayette, Louisiana, early tomorrow morning (I am thinking about 3 o'clock A.M.) so we can LISTEN TO LIVE CAJUN MUSIC ON SATURDAY NIGHT AT MULETE’S IN LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA.

SO?

OWN your Senior Moments and ‘move on’ .. we seniors all have them .. OWN your faulty thinking .. we all have it and ‘move on’ .. IF I can do it .. it is a spiritual truth of the universe that anyone can do this! .. IF you really want to do so.  Is it easy?  OH NO but JUST DO IT!

HOT-DIGGETY-DOG .. San Antonio Spurs vs Houston Rockets ‘heah’ we come!

MUCH JOY FROM TWO PRETTY TIRED ROAD WARRIORS!  .. Patti and Cap ..

DEC 5, 12 .. 'HEAH' IN THE SOUTH ..

To quote the famous 'Southern Sheriff'.. many 'here' down in the South do NOT say the word 'here' in a hard-crisp-precise 'Yankee' way ..  down 'here' in the wonderful South the word 'here'  comes out like 'hyaahhh .. "Boy .. whatcha doing 'heah' !" .. "Son down 'heah' we don't drive like that .. do you 'heah' me Son?" .. 

It seems that many Southern Sheriffs wear those 'mirror sunglasses' and the Southern Sheriff is a legend down 'heah'.  Anyway, 'heah' is said in one very quick but pronounced syllable .. 

'Lord-love-a-duck' .. it was a wonderful and a BIG PART OF MY LIFE .. back in the late 1960s and into the early 1970s to live down 'heah' in Georgia and in South Carolina earning my living 'building engines' in professional automobile racing ..

Down 'heah' in the South .. along with College Football .. big-time-professional automobile racing IS ENORMOUS .. it is BEYOND enormous .. here is a brief capsule to demonstrate how GIGANTIC it is !

My very first day working with a racing team in Spartanburg,  South Carolina .. MY FIRST DAY MIND YOU .. I drove to the shop in the morning  .. and I drove home for lunch .. and on-my-way back to the racing shop after lunch .. FOUR OR SO HOURS OF DRIVING IN TOWN .. the local Spartanburg Sheriff pulled me and my Ford Mustang .. with the CALIFORNIA LICENSE PLATES ON IT .. over to the side of the road.   Today .. FORTY (40) years later .. I could go down to Spartanburg and show you within a few feet of precisely where I was 'pulled-over' !  Down 'heah' you fear and you'd better respect the Sheriff !  For all I know, a Sheriff 'heah' in Arlington / Forth Worth / Dallas Texas may just-be-reading-along-with-me 'heah'!

So the Spartanburg Sheriff came up to me and said ..

"Son .. what are you doing down 'heah'?" .. I explained to the Sheriff why I was in town and specifically who I was working for and that I was on my way back-to-the-shop after going home to eat my lunch ..

THAT-WAS-THAT .. NEVER AGAIN .. NEVER NEVER NEVER AGAIN .. was I stopped or bothered by any local Spartanburg law enforcers !

OH YEAH .. RACING IS VERY BIG DOWN 'HEAH' ! 

Those of us who love sports .. call it .. 'Making the Bigs' .. and I was lucky enough to indeed do just that .. I 'Made The Bigs' in professional auto racing ..

I think that very few of you reading along 'heah' were in my life back then .. of course my two sons were and Robert 94596 was .. so too was James 29322 and his family and 'Duck' 27317 .. not to mention former team members who may still alive these 40+ years later but who are NOT following nor aware of these ramblings ..

DEC 3, 12 .. THE DALLAS COWBOYS STADIUM .. AN ABSOLUTE MUST SEE !

IF  YOU  ARE  A  SPORTS  FAN ..

IF  YOU  ARE  AN  ‘NFL‘  FOOTBALL  FAN  ..

ABSOLUTELY  PUT  ON  YOUR :  ‘BEFORE-I-KICK-THE-BUCKET‘  LIST  I-MUST-DO-THIS ..

I  MUST  ATTEND ..  IN-PERSON ..  AN  ‘NFL‘  FOOTBALL  GAME  AT  THE DALLAS  COWBOYS  FOOTBALL  STADIUM .. IN  ARLINGTON,  TEXAS .. 

Literally .. Patti and I experienced a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ event last night here in Arlington, Texas, when we saw the Dallas Cowboys play the Philadelphia Eagles at Cowboys Stadium.  It truly was a ‘life-enhancing’ event .. our lives are a little bit richer because of it.  The stadium itself is a true work of art.  The stadium experience .. in and of itself .. overwhelms, in many ways, the game !  All evening long Patti and I kept saying to each other .. “Isn’t this absolutely amazing !” 

The Stadium overhead roof was open .. the gigantic doors at each end of the Stadium were also open .. a wonderful breeze wafted through the Stadium all evening long .. it was in a word .. mesmerizing !

OK ..

ASSUMING THAT YOU HAVE A CHOICE .. and you may not have a choice because you may not be able to get tickets .. this is the rule and not the exception because many ‘NFL’ games are sold-out .. but if you do have the choice to attend-in-person a game or sit home and watch the game on television .. you have two separate and you have two distinct opinions / attitudes regarding this DO WE / DON’T WE debate.

I must say that this pretty much applies to watching a FOOTBALL game.  In basketball for instance .. because there are only ten players on the light-in-color-floor and not twenty two players on a dark-green-grass-surface  .. and because a basketball is larger in size than a football .. and because a basketball game .. in general .. moves a little slower and is much less complex .. the sit-home or go-to-the-game decision is much less of a debate .. because being physically at a basketball game you can see the game VERY well ..  

So here is ‘my take’ on the debate .. Do you .. Stay At Home .. OR .. Do you  .. Go To The Game In Person ..

1.  Stay At Home :  In the comfort and in the quiet of your home, to some large degree, YOU CAN SEE THE GAME MUCH BETTER ON TELEVISION THAN YOU CAN when you are physically in attendance AT-THE-GAME .. and it does not cost you an arm and a leg and several hundreds of dollars PLUS all of your necessary ‘facilities’ and creature comforts  are at-arms-reach when you are comfortably at home ! 

Note that above I do qualify the at-home experience saying .. 'to some large degree' you can see the game better at home.  It is a fact that at-the-game you get an 'overview' of the entire scene you do not and can not and will never get at home !   

2.  Go To The Game In Person :  There are many negative factors in going to the game in person .. you must face the traffic and the vehicle parking both going to and returning home from the game and you also have all of the cost(s) involved (tickets / parking / gasoline / food / your time ) and then you have the great inconvenience of public toilets and in some cases the weather could be poor  and then you also have the general ‘hassle’ of being elbow-to-elbow with literally tens-of-thousands of sporting fans .. at Cowboys Stadium you are talking about 80,000 people .. some are intoxicated and some are a challenge to all that is civil and proper in society ..

Why on earth would you even want to go to the game ?   BECAUSE THE ENERGY AND THE EXCITEMENT AND THE PRE-GAME AND GAME ‘GIDDYNESS’  IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL !   Sitting at home you absolutely CANNOT DUPLICATE  the phenomenal giddy feelings and electric excitement and explosive energy you find at-the-game.  Sitting in the quiet of your home in front of your television you are .. in a word .. quiet !

FOR ME THE AT-THE-GAME EXPERIENCE IS FUN AND AN ADVENTURE AND YES A CHALLENGE THAT I LOVE !

This being said I cannot justify for anyone else the cost(s) of going to a game.  It does not exactly 'compute' in a positive number !  By-the-way, I did not mention that recently there have been horrific and terrible stories of fan-  violence towards each other before and during and even after games.  

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE NOTE: In Detroit .. In New Orleans .. In Dallas last night .. at each of these three venues there were a good number of uniformed and plain clothes security personnel.  Over public address systems and on various video and television screens 'Rules of Acceptable Conduct' were repeated.  In each venue spectators were advised to IMMEDIATELY call or IMMEDIATELY text security IF ANY PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER AROSE.  And let me tell you all .. Patti and I had the feeling this was SERIOUS BUSINESS AND THAT NO NONSENSE WOULD BE TOLERATED P-E-R-I-O-D ! 

Back to Cowboys Stadium .. I CAN discuss the debate about the quality of SEEING THE GAME at home or watching the game at the Stadium ..

At the Dallas Cowboys Stadium YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH HAVE-IT-ALL .. BECAUSE OF THE INCREDIBLE AND BECAUSE OF THE PHENOMENAL ‘JUMBOTRON’ .

The ‘JUMBOTRON’ .. is (this is an understatement !) a gigantic television set located directly above the football field .. the ‘JUMBOTRON’ is so large that it extends from one 20-yard-line to the other 20-yard-line and is properly proportioned to duplicate your television set at home.  There are also two smaller ‘JUMBOTRONS’ facing each end zone ..

SO BECAUSE OF THE ‘JUMBOTRON’ AT THE DALLAS COWBOYS STADIUM .. YOU CAN  SIT COMFORTABLY INDOORS  AND WATCH THE GAME ON TELEVISION AND AT THE SAME TIME EXPERIENCE ALL OF THE BENEFITS OF BEING AT-THE-GAME IN PERSON !

Of course you do NOT have to watch the 'JUMBOTRON' because you can also just watch  the game as it unfolds on-the-field and NOT look up at the ‘JUMBOTRON’.   At times the ‘NBC PEACOCK LOGO’ was visible on the ‘JUMBOTRON’ so we were watching in-the-stadium what the rest of the country was watching on the NBC Televison Network !  Patti and I were having our cake and eating our cake too !  Sucha-deal-you-wouldn't-believe !

I can't add too much more about the experience of sitting in Cowboys Stadium yesterday and watching the game.   To fully understand what I am trying to express you MUST experience it yourself  !

TO REPEAT MYSELF :  IF you are a fan of the ‘NFL’ .. you owe-it-to-yourself to .. at least once in this lifetime .. come to Dallas / Arlington, Texas, and experience a game at Cowboys Stadium !

Much MUCH Joy .. Patti and Cap ..

DEC 3, 12 .. FOOTBALL SUNDAY IN DALLAS .. THE GAME ..

WELL PATTI AND I DID-THE-GAME .. DALLAS COWBOYS vs PHILADELPHIA EAGLES ..

Patti and I got to the stadium very early .. arriving five hours before the kickoff the two of us were indeed very early .. parking was quick and easy ..  AT SIXTY ($60) U. S. DOLLARS PER VEHICLE ! .. PARKING WAS VERY EXPENSIVE (my opinion only) ! .. we were second in position in the handicapped parking section of Parking Lot ‘A’ .. and we parked immediately adjacent to the exit from the parking lot it was so nice after the game to leave .. we were picked up by a nice golf-cart and driven the quarter-of-a-mile or so to within a few feet of the correct-gate-for-our-ticket Stadium Entrance Gate .. with ten individual entrance gates to the Stadium this alone was so nice ..

There we were ushered to the-front-of-the-line so Patti did NOT have to stand-in-line to enter .. immediately after entering the Stadium proper .. Patti was presented with a wheelchair and an Attendant ‘wheeled’ Patti pretty much to-her-seat up high in Section 436 .. an elevator took us all vertically up to the top level of the Stadium .. after the game the above process was repeated in reverse .. on the proverbial zero (worst) to ten (best) scale .. our Attendant ‘Ken’ was about FIFTY ! .. Our Man Ken took us in tow entering and met us after the game ..

Upon entering the Stadium a lady came up to me .. called me by name (Cap) and said to me .. “I heard you speak twelve years ago !” .. after she walked away I quietly explained to Ken what that was all about and Ken said quietly back to me .. “I have six months !” .. WHEW .. GO FIGURE ..

Entering and leaving Ken WOULD NOT take a gratuity .. and I PRESSED him to take one .. he steadfastly refused ..

Seated in our seats well over an hour before the kickoff .. we were treated to a Stadium experience such as I have NEVER before felt .. on my zero-to- ten scale .. the Dallas Cowboys Stadium would break-the-meter at about ONE HUNDRED where ten is perfect ! .. all sorts of activities entertained us .. music .. awards to local community members .. pre-game player activity on the field .. the 38 Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders .. pre-game interviews and pre-game analysis and MUCH MORE on the ‘JUMBOTRON’ .. our seat-mates beside us and in front of us and behind us were THE ABSOLUTE BEST .. NO ONE .. NOT ONE SINGLE person in front of us ‘stood up and blocked our view’ ! .. NOT ONE profane or naughty word was uttered once ..

Ah yes .. Stadium Concessions .. Five ($5) ‘count them’ Buckaroos for a bottle of water .. Ten ($10) ‘count them’ Buckaroos for a ‘truly small’ plastic container of popcorn BUT you could go back-and-forth for free refills of this small container. In Detroit, at the Pistons game, we got a huge tub of popcorn for Five Dollars that we could also refill endless times .. being huge we still ate three tubs of popcorn at The Palace Of Auburn Hills in greater Detroit !  I would say one Detroit tub of popcorn would hold five containers of the the Dallas small containers .. what a hassle to keep going back and forth re-filling them .. beer was the usual Eight ($8.50) Fifty each plastic bottle ..

We did get an outrageously large attractive beautiful absolutely ‘gourmet’ sandwich made of  ham/cheese/bacon/coleslaw/dressing on home-made tasting bread that we ended up eating with forks (else we would have broken our jaws trying to open them wide enough to eat this monster sandwich !)  .. AND ?  This baby only cost us Ten ($10) Buckaroos !   

The game itself was fun and entertaining .. I ‘charted’ it so I would stay-in-the-now and be-present ..

The Dallas Cowboys won the game 38 – 33 but the Philadelphia Eagles were in-the-game to the end .. in fact the Eagles led the game most of the way until Dallas seized -the-lead 31 – 27 at 5:35 of the Fourth Quarter and then just minutes later at 3:50 of the Fourth Quarter Dallas put-the-game-away on a Philadelphia fumble that Dallas immediately converted into a ‘Pick-Six’ touchdown and the Stadium almost exploded as the Dallas fans WENT ABSOLUTELY CRAZY ! with their beloved Cowboys now leading 38 – 27 ..

THEN ?  Philadelphia ran the ensuing kickoff back 99-yards for a touchdown and failed on a two-point-conversion .. the Cowboys recovered the on-side-kickoff by the Eagles and the game ended Dallas 38 – 33 Philly.

In my opinion .. when I attend a game ..be it my team or be it the other team .. IT IS MUCH NICER WHEN THE HOME TEAM WINS THE GAME .. after the game the home town fans are happy and content .. albeit loud and excited ..

So our swell afternoon and evening ended ‘just right’ .. joyful and mellow !

/s/  Your Stadium Warriors .. Patti and Cap ..
