This morning I went to bed at 1am, quickly fell asleep, got up once during the night, again at 7am, finally getting up at 7:45.

For the first time in weeks I didn’t take any pills for my back this morning.

I left the apt at 10 and walked to Parva where I had a café con leche while reading some on my cellphone.  Chuck surprised me by showing up at 11pm.  I understand he was going a little stir crazy in his new house and decided to come here for coffee before our lunch meeting.

Just after noon we walked to Jack & Root where we each had a burger.  I left Chuck with 50mil towards lunch and I returned to the apt.  Teresa was sleeping in the 2^nd bedroom and I changed into shorts and a sleeveless t-shirt and left without Teresa waking up.  I met Chuck at Parva at 1:30 and we had coffee inside under their ceiling fans.

From there we walked to Chuck’s new house a block from Papa John’s Pizza.  He showed me around – it’s big and even though it needs painting and some remodeling it’s going to be great when they’re finished.  We had a drink inside and looked at some green birds in a tree nearby – lorries (sp?) I think Darnely called them.

I returned to the apt at 5pm and Teresa soon returned.

Dora, Edwin’s wife, called Teresa and she explained that I lost their phone number with my cellphone.  Edwin contacted me via Whatsapp and we may meet in the park next Thursday afternoon when my daughter is here.

Joke of the day

An elderly couple, Margaret and Bert, moved to Wyoming, Bert always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so, seeing some on sale, he bought them and wore them home. Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife, "Notice anything different about me?"
Margaret looked him over, "Nope."
Frustrated, Bert stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and walked back into the kitchen completely naked except for the boots.

Again he asked Margaret, a little louder this time, "Notice anything different NOW?"

Margaret looked up and said in her best deadpan, "Bert, what's different?  It's hanging down today, it was hanging down yesterday, it'll be hanging down tomorrow."

Furious, Bert yelled, “And do you know why it’s hanging down, Margaret?”

“Nope, not a clue,” she replied.

“It’s hanging down, because it’s looking at my boots!”

Without missing a beat Margaret replied, “Shoulda bought a hat Bert,” “Shoulda bought a hat”.
