Last night I went to bed at 10:30, fell asleep quickly, slept through the night, waking/getting up at 6am.

This morning’s news mentioned that dust from the Sahara has arrived in Colombia.

I sent Vickie in West Virginia my 2020 US federal tax information.

I left the apt at 10am and walked to the mall. I had some pages printed at Auros then had coffee at Todo Fresa. At 11:30 I left, bought a few groceries at Exito and returned to the apt by taxi.

I was experiencing some internet connection issues but after rebooting my router everything was good again.

I checkmated nejcik increasing my rating 1 point to 1470.

I rescheduled my chess lesson to tomorrow because Teresa wanted to go to Santafe mall. Instead, she took a nap; sometimes her cancer drug just knocks her on her ass.

Teresa beat me in parcheesi today 3 games to 1.

We finally hit the mid 80s in the afternoon.

We tried calling the Peruvian restaurant Chiclayo multiple times to place an order but they never answered. Finally, Teresa talked to Laura and I understand she placed an order by Whatsapp. It arrived an hour later. (First time I’ve gotten a delivery by a muchacho on a skateboard.) It was delicious; nice to have something different for a change. I had the pollo saltado sin papas and Teresa had seafood risotto.

I finished reading the paperback Hannibal by Thomas Harris. I think the ending was different from the movie; I’ll have to watch it again.

Joke of the day

My wife and I decided we’ll need a vacation once the world reopens. I taped a world map to the refrigerator, gave my wife a magnetic dart, and said, “Wherever it lands is our vacation spot!” Seems we’ll be spending two weeks behind the fridge.
