Last night I took half a Zopiclona, went to bed just after 11pm, woke up, but didn’t get up, a couple times during the night, finally waking/getting up at 6:30.

I left the apt at 8am and walked to Avenida Poblado.  I had an unusually long wait for a bus, about 15 minutes.

I got off at Calle 7 and walked up the hill to Ganso & Castor Café where I found Glenn and James having coffee.  We had breakfast and chatted until about 10:30.  We paid the bill and walked the few blocks to Café Pergamino where we had another coffee and chatted for another hour.  We stopped across the street at Celestino Hotel Botanico where Glenn inquired about rooms that start at 200mil.  They had an interesting breakfast menu that we might try.

At 11:30 we walked outside and quickly caught a taxi but going down Calle 10A his car died.  We got out and caught another taxi back to Envigado where I got out and they continued on to Sabaneta.

At Exito I picked up 2 bags of milk and a bag of Fab laundry detergent.

I watched the Bears beat the Minnesota Vikings 21-19 but at 3:30 two things happened simultaneously: 1) A rainstorm came through that lasted about an hour.  2) I knocked the TV control off the back of the couch and it hit the router plug knocking it out.  I plugged it back in and soon had internet again but I lost the game as my Slingbox connection was lost and it took a while to recover my Direct TV connection.

Teresa told me she’s meeting some friends tomorrow for lunch at La Casita Parilla so I made plans to meet Chuck for lunch.

I watched a couple more episodes of Mindhunter on Netflix.

5,142 steps.

Joke of the day

An old man in his mid-eighties struggles to get up from the couch, then starts putting on his coat.

His wife, observing his odd behavior, asks, “Where are you going?”

He replies, “I’m going to the doctor.”

She says, “Why, are you sick?”

He says, “Nope, I’m going to get some Viagra.”

Immediately the wife starts positioning herself to get out of her rocker and begins putting her coat on.

He asks, “Where the hell are you going?”

She answers, “I’m going to the doctor too.”

He says, “Why, what do you need?”

She says, “If you’re going to start using that rusty old thing, I’m getting a tetanus shot.”
