Last night I went to bed at 10pm, slept through the night finally waking/getting up at 6am.

I lost my game vs Mr_Blamo lowering my rating to 1542.

I left the apt at 8am and walked to Smartfit. Daniel was working the front desk and he complimented me on my chess game but I understand he doesn’t want to play another one. I called Teresa and she asked Daniel about their 10am class but I understood it’s yoga so she isn’t interested. I completed my usual workout, saying “hello” to Nobraskja and her husband Juan when they came in.

I was having a latte in Ganso y Castor when I saw someone setting up a stand with an awning. I walked over to check it out, saw 2 electric burners and asked, “what is it?”. The young lady told me it’s for making crepes and she listed all the available ingredients, sweet and salty (as they say here). I’ll take a photo of it when I see it all set up.

I left at 10:30 and returned to the apt.

Teresa is all packed for our trip and she’s got most of my suitcase packed also.

I left the apt at 2:15 and had a latte in Los Portenos while going over some Pirc Defense notes for my game tomorrow. There was some squirrel activity in the trees just across the park.

I left at 4pm and ran into Chris Cajoleas on the sidewalk. Approaching me he said something like, “taking your guns for a walk”. I assume he’s talking about my arms so I guess all my time in the gym is noticeable.

When I returned to the apt Teresa was getting a massage from Kelly.

I added some detail to my Things To Do list for Chicago, mostly Wisconsin Dell but I removed Six Flags Great America from my list.

I watched the beginning of Sicario (7.7) on Stremio.

I watched some news then started mu pre-sleep routine.

I finished reading James Patterson’s Cat & Mouse (Alex Cross #4) on my Kindle.
