Sunday, October 27, 2019


Last night I went to bed at 11pm, fell asleep quickly and didn’t wake up until 5am.  I couldn’t fall back asleep so I got up at 5:30.

I left the apt at 7:30 and on this cool morning (65 degrees) enjoyed the brief time in the sun.  I was surprised to see Parva open this morning until I saw the line of people waiting to get into the San Marcos high school, most likely to vote.  I stopped at my usual bank downtown Envigado but it could only give me 400mil so I declined.  Glenn was already seated at Carbon de Leña waiting for me.  We got caught up on recent news and he’s going to send me contact information for a handyman that he has used several times.  (Sebastian Cardona 320 641 7808)  We’ll probably meet regularly on Sunday mornings for breakfast and alternate paying the bill.

I went to another bank location and was able to withdraw more cash from their ATM.  I tried to find the paper store I discovered a week ago but it must be closed.  I went into Dollar City where I found an 8” x 10.5” notebook for my chess lesson notes and a smaller one for my future chess games with Jose for 4mil each.
I stopped at Parva and had a café con leche and got caught up on some news on my cellphone.

On way back to the apt I stopped in Exito where I bought a package of microwave popcorn and a 600ml bottle of Coke.

I watched my Chicago Bears lose to the Los Angeles Chargers 17-16.  What a disappointing season this has been!

I spent the rest of the day working on the mate-in-1 puzzles.  They aren’t particularly difficult, just time consuming, as I have to write the answers in my new notebook.  By the time I quit for the day at 9:30 I had solved 384 of the 498 puzzles.

7,314 steps today.

Joke of the day
A lawyer meets with the family of a recently deceased millionaire for the reading of the will.
'To my loving wife, Rose, who always stood by me, I leave the house and $2 million,' the attorney reads.
'To my darling daughter, Jessica, who looked after me in sickness and kept the business going, I leave the yacht, the business and $1 million.'
'And finally,' the lawyer concludes, 'to my cousin Dan, who hated me, argued with me and thought I would never mention him in my will.' 
'Well, you were wrong.  Hi Dan!'
