I woke up several times during the night, but only got up once in the middle of the night and again at 5am, finally waking/getting up at 7:15.

I left the apt just before 9am and arrived at the chess league at 9:30.  I was surprised that the notice for next weeks’ chess tournament was no longer posted on their bulletin board.  Jose arrived 15 minutes later and we went inside and he spoke with the secretary.  I wanted to register for the tournament but for some reason I have to wait until tomorrow.  Jose said he would call them tomorrow to see what’s going on.  I had black in the first game and we played a 73 move draw.

We had a nice lunch in Tropical restaurant in Obispo mall for 11,000 pesos.

Back at the chess league I had the white pieces and I messed up on the 10^th move and I lost quickly.  We started another game and with the black pieces I played a reverse English and had a nice attack going and I won in 46 moves.

It was now 4pm so we called it a day and we walked to the metro.  I wished him a nice vacation as they leave next week for Spain, Egypt, and Greece, returning on June 21^st.

On the metro I glanced at my step counter and it read something like 89 so I know something happened to it.  Maybe I accidentally hit the reset button or maybe it’s because I was wearing it “sideways” on the pocket of my shorts.

I arrived back at the apt by 5pm.

Teresa said she didn’t leave the apt all day because her cancer medication made her feel dizzy.

I received emails from Envios Market notifying me that I have 2 documents and a package waiting for pickup.

Joke of the day

A cop stops a car for traveling faster than the posted speed limit.  Since he's in a good mood that day he decides he might give the fellow a break and write him out a warning instead of a ticket. 

So, he asks the man his name. 

"Fred," the driver replies. 

"Fred what?" the officer asks. 

"Just Fred," the man responds. 

When the officer presses him for a last name, the man tells him that he used to have a last name but lost it. 

The officer thinks he has a nut case on his hands but plays along with it. 

"Tell me Fred, how did you lose your last name?" 

The man replies, "It's a long story so stay with me. I was born Fred Dingaling. I know, funny last name. The kids used to tease me all the time. So I stayed to myself. I studied hard and got good grades." 

"When I got older I realized that I wanted to be a doctor. I went through college medical school, internship, residency, finally got my degree so I was Fred Dingaling, MD." 

"After a while I got bored being a doctor so I decided to go back to school. Dentistry was my dream. Got all the way through school, got my degree so I was now Fred Dingaling, MD, DDS." 

"Got bored doing dentistry so I started fooling around with my assistant. She gave me VD. So, I was Fred Dingaling, MD, DDS with VD." 

"Well, the ADA found out about the VD so they took away my DDS so I was Fred Dingaling MD with VD." 

"Then the AMA found out about the ADA taking away my DDS because of the VD, so they took away my MD leaving me as Fred Dingaling with VD." 

Then the VD took away my dingaling . . . so now I'm just Fred."
