Last night I went to bed at 10:30, fell asleep quickly, was rudely awakened at 3am by a cramp in my left calf, got up again at 6am and finally woke/got up at 7:15.

My primary bank changed their website interface and I spent a good part of the morning reestablishing a connection between it and my secondary bank.

Jose called and we tentatively agreed to meet next Tuesday for chess.

I tried something different. I ordered a chess book from Germany and instead of routing it through my shipping company in Florida I’m trying to see if it can be sent directly here. They didn’t allow “#” or “-“ in the address but I fudged it a little. They even allowed me to select Colombia but then they said for orders to Canada & the US I would be directed to another website but that didn’t happen. I give up.

We had a little rain in the afternoon and I don’t think the high today got near 80 degrees.

Teresa really enjoyed the movies I See You and Run on Netflix.

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

The 2^nd night of the NFL draft the Bears traded up to draft tackle Teven Jenkins, Oklahoma State.

Joke of the day

An elderly couple was on a cruise and it was really stormy. They were standing on the back of the boat watching the moon, when a wave came up and washed the old woman overboard. They searched for days and couldn’t find her, so the captain sent the old man back to shore with the promise that he would notify him as soon as they found something. Three weeks went by and finally the old man got a fax from the boat. It read: “Sir, sorry to inform you, we found your wife dead at the bottom of the ocean. We hauled her up to the deck and attached to her butt was an oyster and in it was a pearl worth $50,000. Please advise.” The old man faxed back: “Send me the pearl and re-bait the trap.”
