Last night I went to bed at 10:30, fell asleep quickly, got up once at midnight, again at 4:30, finally waking/getting up at 6:30.

One of my blog readers sent me a joke but I’ve heard it phrased a little differently, “Do you know how to make a small fortune in the restaurant business? Start with a large fortune.”

Teresa’s going to the gym and having lunch with a friend so I’m on my own today.

I found an unexpected $59.88 charge to my checking account. I called the number associated with the transaction and learned it was for the Bears Report, a gift I gave my son 2 years ago. The first year was a discounted $27 and it was automatically renewed last year but he didn’t recall receiving it. He also changed apartments in the last year or so. I called them back and cancelled it.

I left the apt just after noon and it was a 25-minute walk to the park Glenn introduced me to before. He took me across the street to a café – Las Tres – where we had lunch. I had the meat lasagna and a mango juice and Glenn had a ham sandwich and a capuccino. Teresa called me and asked me to bring her a pastel de guayaba from Parva. Glenn took Bianca across the street to the park and I walked to Parva where I had a café con leche and bought the pastry Teresa requested.

Michael resigned our game and I gained 2 points to 1478.

Teresa told me her girlfriend with brain cancer died. Later she told me she’d be going to mass tomorrow afternoon in Caldas.

I received an email from Nobraskja at Envios Market that they have some documents to deliver. I put 32mil in an envelope and left it with the portero.

Rain started about 4pm and lasted about an hour.

I understand President Duque is going to legalize the Venezuelans in Colombia.

The portero brought me my mail: a Chess Life magazine, a New in Chess magazine and a 1099.

With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress.
