Oh, good, I can still eat peanut butter 3 days before my colonoscopy.
And crackers.
Return to Levi’s
My cousin Rich was kind enough to invite me to the pre season home opener between the Broncos and the 49ers.
As much as I’m content to watch sports at home, nothing beats being among the crowd during a live event.
We stopped by Chik-fil-a before the game. I’d never had it before, so I ordered grilled chicken nuggets.
At the stadium, the weren’t going to let us in because if their “no outside food” policy, so we had to scarf down our meals rather quickly. Once we finished, we made our way to our seats, just in time for kickoff.
We stayed in our seats through the first quarter, then went around the stadium. Rich was looking for a friend who might have been able to let us sit in the lower bowl for a bit, but he was not working the game.
While walking around and checking out the new banners and stuff, we noticed that there were banners for 4 of the five 49ers Super Bowl wins. The missing one? Super Bowl XXIV. I wanted to take a picture under it while wearing my Elway Broncos jersey.
Eventually we met up with the recently retired GY, working his first game at the stadium. After chatting for a bit, it was halftime, so we decided to go home.
Thanks again to my cousin Rich for the opportunity to see the stadium, and my boys from Denver, again.
Shawarma!
5th Doctor
Annual check up/physical time!
So my regular doctor, who I’d been seeing for a few years, is out on leave, so I had to see another doctor, the 5th in a series of doctors who I’ve seen now, at the same location.
Anyways, my blood pressure came back fine, my left elbow pain was diagnosed as tendinitis, and she challenged me to get my 10,000 steps in (she saw that I was wearing my FitBit) and to spend at least 3 days a week working on cardio for 1/2 an hour, like on my elliptical.
We also talked about my getting a colonoscopy, which I’ll need to call in for soonish.
They opened up a separate office of lab work, which I went to for blood work after my visit, and I was in and out in a couple of minutes.
I was a hungry afterwards, more than usual, so I ended up with 2 bagels (one pretzel, one sourdough) and juice from Noah’s Bagels.
New Gadgets
I’d been waiting all month for the opportunity to upgrade my phone. My lease was up at the end of the month, and I was waiting for them to tell me that I could upgrade without paying off the rest of the lease on the phone.
Which finally was today.
What a day

Thoughts after last night’s Supergirl episode:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
—
Watched 10 minutes of Logan Noir, it looks great.
—
Mind control? Disguised Daxamite? #supergirlthoughts
—
Is the current popularity of Star Wars sapping away my interest in Star Trek? Or is it the debacle that is Star Trek Discovery?

How do you like your eggs?
Sunday Recap
Free Comic Book Day 2017
Getting better at scheduling this out.
I picked up my nephew at a little after 10am. We got to the comic shop about 10-15 minutes before they opened. We had to park on the other side of the 24 Hour Fitness building and walk a bit to the comic shop.
There was a short line that went pretty quick after the shop opened at 11am. We each grabbed our allotted 3 comics, got rung up at a register, and left.
By the time we got to the mall/theatre, it was about time to grab some food and go to our seats. They ran out of medium sized ICEE cups and didn’t have pretzel bites, so I settled for a large ICEE and a hot dog. Joseph got an ICEE and popcorn.
There were no loud talkers, and only some seat confusion due to not being able to see the seat numbers once the lights go down.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 holds up on second viewing.
After the movie I checked my phone and saw a voicemail message from Gator Games, which I checked to confirm that my copy of the Shadow War Armageddon rule book was available for pickup.
After picking up some sundries from Target we quickly drove down to the game store and I got my rule book, while Joseph asked the workers there about Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
We made one last stop at the Brisbane library, who also participate in Free Comic Book Day, and they have no limits on the comics one can take. I don’t know why we just don’t go there initially…
I dropped off Joseph, then refueled my car and myself (gas and McDonalds, respectively) and went home, to find too many choices on TV (Captain America movies, Star Wars marathon, NBA playoffs).
