I had a short talk with Jose at the gym and I learned he
comes Monday thru Saturday for an hour each day. He also commented, when I was doing 20
repetitions on one weight machine, that I should be doing fewer reps so I’m
sure that means using heavier weight. I
still weigh 77.5 kilos.
I picked up a couple bags of milk at the corner store on my
way back to the apt.
I left at 1pm and a Metro bus arrived after a 10 minute
wait. In one of the stations I saw an
advertisement for The Voice,
premiering September 22nd/23rd (not sure why there’s two
dates).
At Dario’s store I invited him for lunch and a day of chess
some Saturday or Sunday and he said that’s possible. I lost the first game with the black pieces
playing the Sicilian Defense but I felt pretty comfortable with this opening. I won the second game in only 17 moves with a
vicious attack with the white pieces playing the Giuoco Piano.
When I left the store it had cleared so I didn’t need to
bring the umbrella I was carrying.
Crossing the street next to a Colombian woman we waited for
a van to pass because there was sufficient space after it. But it moved so slow that the following cars
nearly caught up to it and then they honked their horns at us as we crossed. The woman said something to me in Spanish and
I said “we’re living dangerously” in English.
Walking back to the apt in Envigado I passed a man walking
and carrying a tray, of those plastic bottles you store ketchup in, on his
head. First time I’ve seen something
like that here.
I received an email that my ChessGames.com membership
expires in a month (on 11/21/16). My
Premium membership cost me $29 a year but I haven’t been using it anyway so
I’ll let it expire.
We got a little rain in the evening.
I watched the Presidential debate on my slingbox. After about the 43 minute mark I had to disconnect
and reconnect a few times when the screen froze.
T-shirt of the day: Train hard. No excuses.
