I slept well, once waking but not getting up, finally waking/getting up at 7am.  Teresa had already left for the gym.

She returned by 8am and made me breakfast.

I watched the first 20 minutes of the Today show and left for the gym.  It wasn’t very busy today and I completed all my exercises in an hour and 15 minutes.

After lunch Teresa and I took a nap from 2:15 to 3pm.

At 4pm I left the apt and stopped at the bakery where I bought 2 English muffins.  I’m only planning on eating a half at a time so they should last me about a week.  I walked to the mall and printed out a couple things at Arios the copy center.  I went up to Café Arangos and had a café con leche while reading my November Chess Life magazine.  Teresa called me and asked me to pick up a roll of paper towels at Dollar City believing that they are less expensive there.  I did and it was 7mil for a very large roll but I don’t know if that’s a bargain or not.

Back at the apt complex it looks like workers have put up brackets for a suspended ceiling in the guardhouse.  One of the porteros informed me that water will be shut off tomorrow from 9am to 2pm.  When I got to the elevator there was a sign that it was under maintenance and I had to walk up to the 4^th floor.

I’m going to be very busy tomorrow.  At 8:30am I have an appointment to have my teeth cleaned with Dr. Rendon.  At 1pm I’m meeting Rory at Unicentro to play more chess.  And at 6:30 I believe we have an appointment to see a doctor to get an appointment for a blood draw.  Only in Colombia.

10,519 steps today.

Joke of the day

An 86 year-old man is out fishing. He was sitting in his boat when he heard a voice say, "Pick me up!"

He looked around and did not see any one. He thought he was dreaming until he heard the voice again.

"Pick me up." The old man looked in the water and there, floating on a lily pad was a frog.

The man said, "Are you talking to me?" 

The frog replied, "Yes, I'm talking to you. Pick me up. Then, kiss me and I'll turn into the most beautiful woman you have
ever seen. I'll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous because you will have me as your bride."

The man looked at the frog for a minute in confusion, reached over, picked it up carefully, and placed it in his front pocket.

The frog screamed, "What, are you nuts? Didn't you hear what I said? I said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride!"

He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said,

"Nah, at my age I'd rather have a talking frog."
