Last night I went to bed at 10:30, fell asleep quickly, got up 3 times the latest 5am, then catnapped until finally waking/getting up at 6:20.

I left the apt just before 8am and walked to Viva Envigado. On the way I tested another car coming towards me in the crosswalk and he missed me by an inch. I have to stop doing that. I went upstairs and made a withdrawal from an ATM and by the time I returned downstairs Jose was waiting for me. I had my usual complete breakfast and he had his usual coffee and a pastry.

At 9am we went upstairs where we had our choice of tables in the food court. I had the Black pieces in the first game and I lost the game in the first 4 moves resigning on the 26^th move. It was still early so we started the second game stopping for lunch at noon. I had the frijoles with rice and he made a trip to the ATM then bought an ice cream cone. At one point we heard a loud boom and the lights went out. With the glass roof it wasn’t like we were in the dark but the lights came back on soon anyway. He made an error late in the game and resigned on the 60^th move.

It was only 2:30 when he left and I went downstairs for coffee. Some of the escalators weren’t working and some of the stores had no lights. Todo Fresa had no electricity so I went around the corner to Dunkin Donuts who did. I had a small coffee with a cinnamon roll.

I left about 4pm and took a taxi back to the apt.

For dinner we ordered Frisby fried chicken delivered by Rappi.

Several time this week I reminded Teresa to call and make a reservation for Saturday at Tony Roma’s in the Dann Carlton. Tonight she told me she will have to get her hair and nails done and it will be crowded at the beauty parlor so she wants to wait a week and celebrate International Women’s Day on the following Saturday the 13^th.

I finished reading Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park on my Nook.

Joke of the day

Two men were sitting next to each other at a bar.

After a while, one guy looks at the other and says, "I can't help but think, from listening to you, that you're from Ireland."
The other guy responds proudly, "Yes, that I am!"
The first guy says, "So am I! And where about from Ireland might you be?"

The other guy answers, "I'm from Dublin, I am."
The first guy responds, "Sure and begorrah, and so am I! And what street did you live on in Dublin?"
The other guy says, "A lovely little area it was, I lived on McCleary Street in the old central part of town."
The first guy says, "Faith & it's a small world, so did I! And to what school would you have been going?"
The other guy answers, "Well now, I went to St. Mary's of course."
The first guy gets really excited, and says, "And so did I. Tell me, what year did you graduate?"

The other guy answers, "Well, now, I graduated in 1964." The first guy exclaims, "The Good Lord must be smiling down upon us! I can hardly believe our good luck at winding up in the same bar tonight. Can you believe it, I graduated from St. Mary's in 1964 my own self."
About this time, another guy walks into the bar, sits down, and orders a beer.
The bartender walks over shaking his head & mutters, "It's going to be a long night tonight, the Murphy twins are drunk again."
