Last night I went to bed at 10:30, fell asleep quickly, was awakened by talking outside Exito at 4:30am, closed the window, finally waking/getting up at 7:15.

Teresa left for a doctor’s appointment at 8:45.

I was updating my blog notes in a Word file when I thought I just did a Save (Ctrl+s) when instead of a single page on my screen I saw 4. It took me awhile to try different things when in the end a simple “Esc” fixed it.

I called my bank and requested a new debit card with different numbers but was told they would have to cancel the old card first and I would be without one for 2-3 weeks until the new one arrived. I changed my mind and I will deal with my iFood and Rappi app problems instead.

I finished season 3 of Outlander.

Teresa returned at 11:15 and reported all looks well.

I had a 2-hour chess lesson with Juan Castro.

I beat Teresa in parcheesi today 3 games to 2.

On the news it was reported that the England variant of Covid-19 is here and they are worried about its affect on children.

Joke of the day

A good-looking man walked into an agent's office in Hollywood and said, "I want to be a movie star." Tall, handsome and, with experience on Broadway, he had the right credentials.

The agent asked, "What's your name?"

The guy said, "My name is Penis van Lesbian."

The agent said, "Sir, I hate to tell you, but in order to get into Hollywood, you are going to have to change your name."

"I will NOT change my name! The van Lesbian name is centuries old. I will not disrespect my grandfather by changing my name. Not ever."

The agent said, "Sir, I have worked in Hollywood for years. You will NEVER go far in Hollywood with a name like Penis van Lesbian! I'm telling you, you will HAVE TO change your name, or I will not be able to represent you."

"So be it! I guess we will not do business together," the guy said, and he left the agent's office.

Five years later the agent opens an envelope sent to his office. Inside the envelope was a letter and a check for $50,000. The agent is awe-struck. Who would possibly send him $50,000?

He reads the letter enclosed...

"Dear Sir,

Five years ago, I came into your office wanting to become an actor in Hollywood & you told me I needed to change my name. Determined to make it with my God-given birth name, I refused. You told me I would never make it in Hollywood with a name like Penis van Lesbian. 

After I left your office, I thought about what you said. I decided you were right. I had to change my name. I had too much pride to return to your office, so I signed with another agent. I would never have made it without changing my name, so the enclosed check is a token of my appreciation.

Thank you for your advice.

Sincerely,

Dick van Dyke
