Happy Birthday Jeannie!

Last night I went to bed at 10:30, got up once at 5:15, took a little while to tall back asleep, finally waking/getting up at 7:30.

Today I went to the gym and completed all my exercises in an hour and 10 minutes.

Our Direct TV went out at 12:30.

I rested for a while from 1 to 2pm.

I left the apt at 2:15 and walked to Parva.  I ordered a café con leche and Juan arrived a few minutes later.  I bought a juice for him and we settled down to study Spanish.  Towards the end of the lesson Bret arrived and after I finished my lesson we chatted for about 90 minutes.

I bought a loaf of bread from Parva and stopped at Exito where I bought milk and dish soap.

I was back at the apt by 6:30.

6,255 steps today.

Joke of the day

The Pope goes to New York and gets picked up at the airport by a limousine.

When he sees the car, he motions to the driver and says: "Do you mind if I ask you a favor?"

"A favor for the Pope??" exclaims the driver, "of course - anything!"

"You know, I hardly ever get to drive, and I'd really like it if I got to drive now. Would you please let me?"

The thought of the Pope getting behind the wheel scared the driver - what if he got into an accident? 

On the other hand, the driver felt that he couldn't say no to the Pope himself, so he reluctantly obliged and let his Holiness get behind the wheel. 

To his utter dismay, the Pope turns the key, lights up the limousine's rear tires and speeds up like a maniac!

After driving in excess of 100 mph in a 45 mph zone, a police car drives up alongside them and orders them to stop immediately. The Pope slams on the brakes and comes to a dead stop, as does the pursuing police officer. 

The police officer emerges from his vehicle, briefly peers through the limousine's window then hurriedly returns to his squad car. 

His sergeant got this call:

Cop: "Sir, I have a problem."

Sergeant: "What kind of problem?"

Cop: "Well, I pulled over this driver for speeding, but he's someone really important."

Sergeant: "Important like... the mayor?"

Cop: "No, no - a lot more important than that."

Sergeant: "Important like... the governor?"

Cop: "Way more important than that, Sarge."

Sergeant: "Important like... the President?"

Cop: "Even more important than him."

Sergeant: "Who's more important than the President?"

Cop: "I don't know sarge, but he has the Pope as his driver!"
