Last night I went to bed at 10:15, got up several times during the night, finally waking/getting up at 6:30.

I had a short nap after breakfast then left the apt at 8:45 for Smartfit. I ran into Michael right away and learned he returns to the gym for another workout around noon.

They gym has televisions above the treadmills and I occasionally thought I saw the name George Halas come up. Today I finally caught it in time to take this photo:

Later ChatGPT translated it to, “No one who has given their best has ever regretted it.” – George Halas. So, they know who George Halas is in Colombia? Incredible.

I also noticed an ad on television for my brand of creatine so I’ll have to check out.

It will probably be powder rather than the capsules I bought.

I walked to Ganso y Castor and had a latte at my usual table at the end of the row. A young man of 35 or so was sitting 3 tables away. I could hear him speaking English with a woman on his phone. I could occasionally hear things like “an egg contains 2 grams of protein”, and “you should eat some protein an hour after your workout”. I figured he must be in the fitness nutrition business.

When I finally noticed he was off the phone I tried to get his attention, “hello” and “where are you from?” but he either couldn’t hear me or was too engrossed in his phone. I made a screenshot of this book:

and walked over to his table and held out my cellphone and said, “I don’t know if you can’t hear me or are ignoring me but have you read this book?” He stood up and said, “get the fuck out of my face”. I said, “Wow!”, walked back to my table, picked up my thermos and workout book and left immediately, returning to the apt.

Teresa wanted to go to her crafts course again this afternoon but learned there won’t be any classes until February 11^th.

I left the apt at 1:45 and walked to Gardenia where I had a latte. No other customers were there but a few came in later. About 3pm thunder could be heard and it got noticeably windier and cooler. I left at 3:30 in a light shower and returned to the apt.

Kelly arrived about 4:30 to give Teresa a massage. The sun was shining and I wanted to leave but it was still raining, although lightly. Finally, about 4:30 it cleared and I walked to Antonio’s where I bought half a liter of pistachio gelato. I continued on to Eduardo Madrid where I picked up the 16 English muffins I ordered plus a slice of carrot cake for Teresa.

I returned to the apt and Kelly had already left.

I lost a game to chesswiz98 in 40 moves, lowering my rating to 1542.

I watched news the rest of the evening, mainly CNN’s Town Hall in Minneapolis.
