Last night I went to bed at 9:30, fell asleep quickly, and got up at 3:30. Should I stay up now that would be 6 hours sleep; but what about tomorrow? Should I go to bed at 8:30pm and get up at 2:30am my circadian rhythm would be totally screwed up. The good news is I returned to bed, fell asleep quickly and didn’t wake/get up until 7am.

I left the apt at 9:15 and walked to the mall where I had coffee in Todo Fresa. I left at 11am, purchased calcium pills and an envelope for Teresa then eggs, pasta sauce and corn bread in Exito. I returned to the apt by 11:45 by taxi.

Howex resigned our recent game and I gained 16 points to 1479.

Nobraskja texted me that they have a package they will deliver tomorrow.

I beat Teresa in parcheesi 4 games to 3.

I had a 2-hour chess lesson with Juan Castro this afternoon. He told me his father and his entire family has Covid-19 and they are recovering at home.

Michael resigned our game which increased my rating 2 points to 1481.

Joke of the day

A country boy who lived his whole life in the village gets permission on his 15th birthday to visit his older sister in New York. 

What the family doesn't know is that the daughter is a "working girl" and was really scared her brother, coming to stay with her, will figure it out.

So when he comes over and asks her what she does, she said: "Oh, this is New York, I sell hot dogs."

"Oh WOW!" Her brother said excitedly. "I LOVE hot dogs and I heard New York has the best, can I come with you tomorrow to work and get a free one? Please??"

The sister, appalled, said she would be ever so busy, and she was sorry but no.

Her brother, a little sullen at the news, hatched a plan.

When the sister left the following afternoon, he walked behind her, following her until she came to a big house and disappeared inside. 

It seemed a bit of a weird place for her work but he followed her in, and there was greeted by a beautiful woman, wearing very little.

"Hi there handsome," she purred at him. "Come to satisfy your "appetite"?

"I sure did!" Said the boy enthusiastically.

"Wonderful," smiled the woman, "how do you like to have it? Standing up or lying down?"

"Well," said the boy, "I'd rather have it in a bun."
