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!'
