Every morning at 9:26 AM I mediate on my friend Ed. Then again at 9:36.
He is a chiropractor in Minneapolis. He ran a promotion that if you donated your old cell phone, your name would go into a drawing and at the end of the month a name would be drawn. The winner would get a free treatment in his office.
He ended up with about 30 of them, and mailed them off to me. FYI, if you need a cell phone, let me know and you can stop by and pick one up. That is the physical cell phone, not the service.
Anyway, one of them has its alarm clock set to go off at 9:36 daily with a rousing rendition of Pachelbel’s Canon and then autosnoozes until ten minutes later.
I flipped it open and pushed every button trying to get it to show a menu or something but it only stares blankly back at me.
I went to the company website and clicked on the User Guide which turned out to be a 200 page PDF file, which translates into useless on dialup connection such as I have.
So unless someone can tell me how to turn on a Samsung T Mobile phone, and then turn off the alarm, every morning I will be meditating on Ed. Or at least until the battery goes dead.

A.) You can take batteries out of cell phones?
B.) What fun would that be?

Hi Gosh… boy were we glad to see that phone go. Hee hee… I would have written sooner but I have been in Hawaii where I spent a few days with Ram Dass and Krishna Das. Also, the island of Maui was a zoo because the Dahli Lama was there to consecrate a stupa. The spiritual energy was amazing. Krishna Das led us in a chanting of Hare’ Krishna that lasted about an hour and kept building and building… very powerful.. see you soon.

You may never have heard it because it would have gone off before your office hours considering time zones and and the daylight savings switching.
Chaitanya showed me the problem solve this morning at the temple. You have to hold down the on button for 2 full seconds.
I didn’t figure out how to turn off the alarm because I gave it away to Pracetas on teh way home.
