My baby's BACK

-

We were out of the house pretty early for some errands again. Dominique mentioned that one of the cab drivers at the stand outside our place mentioned we must do a lot of walking. He could not be more right. We stopped at one of our favourite spots for breakfast, she having a soup and me a breakfast club. Their club is a normal size not one of those gigantic offerings at home that can feed two or more people.

We walked to Soriana from Leon restaurant for some balsamic vinegar and picked up a few other things while there. We ran into Karen, someone Dominique has known for some time. She told us the self checkout area at the store was hatched partially as a result of the store not being able to find enough cashiers. Sounds like the shortage of workers there are in some sectors at home.

The walk to market was great, as usual, and I commented to Domi how every walk to and from Soris seems shorter each time. We used the canal path to go to Jaguar Negra to order or buy some bread. They had what we were looking for in stock so picked up a loaf of sourdough and a multigrain. We inquired about some croissants to serve with dinner Sunday when Lynn arrives from Minnesota. We were not impressed with the price of this pastry, but bought four anyways ... the one and only time we will buy anything there other than bread.

Back home, we hung for a few hours and then headed off to Arcadia for the standard quaffing of a few ales, red wine, and a few glasses of ice. We met Wanda and John there and the conversation was dynamic, covering a wide assortment of topics.

About 90 minutes later we headed off for dinner a 15 minute walk away. The place was somewhere John and Wanda were fond of and it did not disappoint. I had red chicken enchiladas, and the rest of the gang had fish tacos. Dominique's second taco became tomorrow's breakfast. THhs happens a lot with my girlie and what I refer to as her pea tummy. I wish mine had the capacity of hers.

Después de cenar, caminamos sobre calle Adelita. Detuvemos a Rufo's y disfrutamos la música de Alfredo Moya. Conocemos este hombre, habiendo verle muchas veces alrededor Zihua. Compramos las cenas que se pasan el 23 noviembre por Thanksgiving. Entonces, fuemos a nuestra casa. ¡Fue una buena tarde por todos!

<== Ahora, en inglés ...
After dinner, we walked on Adelita Street. We stopped Rufo’s and enjoyed the music of Alfredo Moya. We meet this man, having seen him many times round Zihua. We bought the dinners which are happening on November 23 on Thanksgiving. Then we went home. It was a good evening for everyone! ==>

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...
