Last night I went to bed at 10:30, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 2am, finally waking at 6am and getting up at 6:30.
I texted Jose and we agreed to meet for chess
tomorrow.
After breakfast, my
eyes still felt tired so at 8:15 I set my new app – One Touch Power Nap – to 45-minutes
and went for a nap. It took a while to fall asleep but it woke me up at 9am. I checked
my cellphone and saw I had just missed a text from Marcos. He texted me at 8:15
and since he didn’t hear from me he was leaving for his walk. I left at 9:15
and walked the back streets then La Buena Mesa returning at 10:15.
Medellin is reinstating
curfews and pico y cedula for part of the holiday season. Not sure yet what
that means for Envigado. I’ve also been hearing rumors of another quarantine in
the new year.
Teresa beat me in
parcheesi today 3 games to 2. To demonstrate how much luck is involved, I had
my final piece 1 square away from a win. (All I needed to do was roll a 1.)
Several turns later, Teresa rolled an 11 which gave her 2 pieces 1 move away
and 2 pieces 2 moves away. (On 11 and doubles you get to roll again.) She then
rolled 2-2 and I thought “that was quick”. She then rolled 1-1 to win the game.
Sheesh!
On the news I understood
the pico y cedula is for all of Antioquia so no chess tomorrow. (Since my cedula number ends in an odd number I can only "shop" on the odd days.) I called Jose
to be sure he knew we wouldn’t be playing chess tomorrow but I just got voice
mail. I left a message asking him to call me but he never called back.

Joke of
the day
A middle-aged lady went into a bar in
Dallas, TX and saw a cowboy with his feet propped upon a table. He had the
biggest boots she'd ever seen.
The woman asked the man if it's true
what they say about men with big feet being well endowed. The man grinned and
said, 'Sure is, little lady. Why don't you come to my apartment and let me
prove it to you?'
The old woman considered she might never
get an offer like this again and was curious to find out for herself, so she
spent the night with him.
The next morning, she handed him a $100
bill.
Blushing, he said, 'Well, thank you, I'm
really flattered. Nobody has ever paid me for my 'services' before!'
'Don't be flattered' she replied...
'Take the money and buy yourself some
boots that fit...'
