Day 3: A late morning after a very long day
Yesterday turned out to be a VERY busy day (in my opinion). I say "in my opinion" because at the end of the day (2:00 this morning actually), Broeder said that "we didn't get shit done." Well, a day in the life of Dr. Craig Broeder is exhausting for Jeff Brinker. I won't try to recount all the things we did in our 22 hour day (after 5 hours of sleep from the previous night), but I will mention some of the highlights. Like when Broeder cut himself on a pocket knife outside and determined from all of the dirt and grime on his hands that it will surely get infected. I asked him if he wanted to wash it off inside to prevent the infection, so he went inside, grabbed a paper towel, wiped off some of the blood, grabbed a bottle of red wine, poured himself a glass of wine, and began drinking. This didn't make a lot of sense to me, but neither did it make sense to me when he decided to put ice AND Coke in the red wine. It actually didn't taste as bad as it sounded to me, but it seemed unique nonetheless. The other funny thing was when he told me (jokingly) that I was "a spoiled brat...for not wanting to shit in a field like an apeman...because that's really living." Wow.

The Natatorium
This was the swimming pool complex at University of Texas-Austin. Everything's bigger in Texas...
I think I heard that it's a common thing in Spain to mix Coke and red wine, but I think Maria and I tried it once here and I didn't really think it was as good as either drink by itself.
ReplyDeleteAlso you should tell Broeder you peed in his sink, and THAT'S really living.
Jeff, I must say that I was laughing so hard that I began to cry while reading this! I can't wait for more! HAHA!
ReplyDeleteI find this very exciting. Jeff Brinker with a blog and it's actually funny. It's almost as funny as the visual in my mind of former baseball player Jose Canseco MMA Fighting Hong Man Choi. Which he is. Soon.
ReplyDeleteRobby, nice to see you in the realm of the living. Jeff, you should totally tell Broeder that peeing in the sink is how you reach nirvana, not out of the blue though, do it next time he gives you crap about dropping it in the great outdoors. Keep up the hard work.
