Thursday, May 1, 2025

Last night I went to bed at 10:15, got up twice during the night, finally waking/getting up at 7:30am.

Today is a holiday here, it’s May Day.

Lawrence texted me just before 9am and we made plans to meet this afternoon to play chess.

I left the apt at 9am and had a latte in Los Portenos while going through 2 English opening books trying to figure something out. It was very busy, usually is on a holiday, and at 11am a couple were waiting for a table and there weren’t any available so I paid and left.

At 1:30 I took a Didi to Unicentro mall arriving at 2pm. It felt quite cold by the windows so I set up the chessboard at an interior table.  Lawrence and his son joined me 10 minutes later.

Over the next 6 hours he won 4 games, I won 3 games and there were 3 draws.

I left at 6:15 and returned to our complex by Didi.

I stopped in Ara and bought a bag of milk, package of Teresa’s favorite arepas and a few red apples.

Teresa was at the dining room table working on another purse; I think this one is for Laura’s girlfriend Vicky.

I finished reading Neal Bascomb’s The Winter Fortress, the epic mission to sabotage Hitler’s atomic bomb.

I checked and I read 6 books last month.

 

FUNNY
