Last night I went to bed at 10:30, quickly fell asleep, got up once about 5am, couldn’t fall back asleep so I got up at 5:30, went back to bed at 6am, soon fell asleep and woke/got up at 7:30.

I left the apt just before 9 and completed my usual 1-hour walk, picking up some Fab on my way back.

After lunch we took a short nap.

I left at 3pm and walked to Parva where I bought 2 pasteles de guayaba to go and 2 café con leches that I drank there.

There’s this old guy who patrols the 2 streets that meet at the corner that Parva resides on. He shows drivers where they can park and assists them, whether they need it or not, with their parking. I have seen drivers tip him, but I have no idea if he works for Parva or what gives him the right to even be there. Similar to Seinfeld’s “soup nazi” I think I will refer to him in the future as the “parking nazi”.

I left at 5:30 and returned to the apt.

I watched the first episode of the old Flash Gordon serial (1936) on Youtube. I recall seeing it in the movie theater when I was young. How old would I have to be before I could go to a movie alone? 10? So, it would be 1955, and the serial was 19 years old? Hard to believe. I texted my brother and he remembers seeing them on TV on Sunday mornings.

A light drizzle started about 7:15.

Joke of the day

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
