I had a typical night’s sleep.
A bomb exploded yesterday at the police academy in Bogota
leaving 21 dead and dozens injured. It
is believed the ELN, Colombia’s last standing guerrilla group, is responsible.
At 9am a woman arrived to give Laura a manicure and pedicure
for 25,000 pesos. I left a few minutes
later for the gym. I completed all but
one of my exercises because the 2 machines were occupied.
I picked up a Gente newspaper outside the guard house. I was back at the apt by 11am.
Teresa informed me that a consultation with the medical
oncologist is 430,000 pesos. She thought
that was outrageous so I understand she’s going to wait to use nueve eps.
Among new US movie releases I might be interested in seeing Glass (7.4).
Locally, I would like to see Papillon (7.1) playing at 3:30 and 6:50 and maybe Glass playing at 2pm, 3:30 (IMAX), and
5:10pm.
Bohemian Rhapsody has finally left the city.
After I came out of my shower I saw Teresa using a “pen” she
found to type a message on Whatsapp. I
said “welcome to the 21st century”!
Lol.
The high in Boston
I read a review that the movie Glass is awful so maybe I’ll skip it.
I texted Jose asking about when I could pick up my platinum
card at Cine Colombia
After lunch Laura and I took a taxi to the mall with Wilson
We walked to the mall where she bought a bag of Juan Valdez coffee beans as a gift for
the parents and a few chocolates for the girls.
We stopped at the Auros copy
center so she could print her flight information but there was a sign that they
could only print emails not links. I
reminded her that there is a copy center in the small mall with Wilson’s bar
but she said we will do it tomorrow.
We walked back to the mall and took a taxi with the bags
back to the apt.
I took a bus downtown Envigado where I looked in Exito and
the paper store for a new notebook to replace the one that I’ve filled for the
gym. No luck. I bought another container of L-Arginine for
24,500 pesos but I think the lady stiffed me 1,000 pesos on my change. I didn’t say anything. I looked for a newstand so I could buy a Q’Hubo
for chuck but it was closed. I think
it’s more of a morning thing. I was
going to buy a container of liquid hand soap but the lines were too long. Another day.
I walked back to the apt.
Laura left to meet her girlfriends in Poblado and say
goodbye.
Esmeralda came over and picked up Teresa and I and we picked
up MT and went to Antica Pizza for
pizza and drinks for everyone for 67,500 pesos ($22).
Joke of the day
A mother was
working in the kitchen listening to her son playing with his new electric train
in the living room.
She heard
the train stop, and her son said, “All you sons of bitches who want to get off,
get the hell off now cause this is the last stop. And all you sons of bitches who are returning
and want to get on, get your asses on the train now cause we’re going down the
tracks.”
The mother
went into the living room and told her son, “We don’t use that kind of language
in this house. Now go to your room and
stay there for TWO HOURS. When you come
out, you may go back and play with your train, but only if you use nice
language.”
Two hours
later, the boy came out of the bedroom and resumed playing with his train. Soon, the train stopped and the mother heard
her son say, “All passengers who are disembarking the train please remember to
take all of your belongings with you. We
thank you for riding with us today and hope your trip was a pleasant one. We hope you will ride with us again soon.”
She hears
the little boy continue, “For those of you just boarding we ask you to stow all
your luggage under your seat. Remember,
there is no smoking on the train. We
hope you will have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today.”
Then the
child added, “And for those of you who are pissed off about the TWO HOUR delay,
see the bitch in the kitchen.”
