Itsicane expected

-

When I was in primary school, a riddle was circulating in the school yard ... Why are hurricanes named after women? ... answer ... they're hericanes not himicanes. In the midst of pretending to have broken down the gender barriers, we now name them after both. A hurricane is expected to hit Zihua later today and maybe through Wednesday. We even received a warning from the Environment Canada office, pretending to be so thorough.

Dominique finished bridge about 9:15 and we hung around for a while waiting for Hugo and Lynn to finish a meeting so we could go to Intercam bank in Ixtapa. We waited and waited and then some. Finally, I decided they must have gone without us. Noonish we headed out on our own and ran into them pulling into the parking lot on street level. They had forgotten we wanted to go with them.

We did the market and picked up a bevvy of veggies and a wee bit of fruit. We grabbed a cab home, asking the driver to wait for us so we could do the bank trip we missed in Ixtapa. The bank had a lot of people waiting but we were served within 15 minutes of arriving.

When back home, we finished the laundry after putting the stuff we bought in the market away. Tomorrow will start with a fabulous breakfast buffet Lynn told us about next store at Irma hotel. Then we are off to Sam's club. We may need a few things, but Lynn was curious if we were going soon as he has no membership card with him. They reside in Minnesota with Ranae.

Later today I will set my girl up with the Mac to watch Discovery+ and I will watch game 7 of the National League championship between Arizona and Philadelphia. I do not care who wins, I just like game 7 in any sport. Even though I supposedly do not care, I was hoping for Texas to win the American League pennant which they did.

The World Series starts Thursday and will supposedly be over by November 4. It's hot and humid again today. I asked Sigi if he knows why the surf is so high and the waves are encroaching higher on the beach than usual. He believes the storms at sea are responsible. It must be a massive amount of energy released/stirred up by these storms to affect the amount of a beach gets covered during high tide many many kilometres away. I still do not believe tides are caused by the moon and will not listen to any explanation of what causes them.

Nice start

 ... to a sunny day. Not sure what will end up going down the balance of the day, maybe a walk. There are three types of players that attend our online games ... Those who pester and pester me when they believe the score they have obtained on a board needs adjusting, then keep hounding me when they don't like my decision Those who politely ask me to have a look at their score on a board; I look and respond with my findings. Those who DEMAND I look at a board with something like Boars 8! For these people I am tempted to respond with either nothing or a comeback resembling Please have a look at Board 8 ... thanks! Played bridge early afternoon. Did not do well, but it was fun nonetheless. Can really tell we are leaving in five days ... stuff is flying out of here at a feverish pace. Mi chica is busy packing and I did a bit myself. Most of the packing I still have to do has to wait until the last minute ... lots of electronic crap naturally as well as wrapping some other stuff in plas...

Ooh what a lucky man

-
As so eloquently put by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer in their 1970s song. I have been lucky so many times in my 74+ years on this planet. Some of the highlights ... the experience having four offspring and, to date, four grandchildren being in the right place at the right time, being Miami Beach in September 1990 for an Oracle user group conference that ended up sparking a torrid career in high tech discovery of high grade dysplasia, a precancerous diagnosis during a routine scope in 2013 that was arrested by a right hemicolectomy participating in the Canadian government's retraining program in 1983-84 that allowed me to take the four semester course at Algonquin College that kickstarted my ventures into high tech getting to know some folks from the Boston area that catapulted me into the Oracle Press publishing initiative with McGraw-Hill that led to the sale of hundreds of thousands of our/my books over a 15-year period having first-hand experiences in poor east Africa that put into...

Melt the seal ... time is here

Oh my ... how time flies. It seems like only yesterday that it was Wednesday. The place looks like someone is leaving in a few days. The mattress in bedroom #2 has been tood up with the mattress cover side pointing out. The first two kitchen chairs are parked on the cement couch in the L/R. Dominique will ask Paty to drop in after the bridge game Saturday so we can discuss the idiosyncrasies of looking after our place until our return. Doing the extended walk to the end of the canal path past Soris. We will pick up some shredded pork to make sandwiches for the flight(s) on Sunday. We are so close to the end of the line as far as getting the place ready. Other than the Fire TV sticks, the balance of the work involves moving stuff around and covering furniture. These will happen as late as possible on Saturday evening. Chicken for dinner tonight then the last two nights we will eat out. We have been very fastidious ensuring there is as little as possible left in the freezer by the evenin...
