Wonders amaze me

-

Did some more surfing yesterday later in he evening. Still not much out there about the events of November 22, 1963. It makes one wonder what the true meaning of we will never forget. 

About 6:30 last night Lynn knocked on our door and we walked down to Rufo's so he could confirm hos seat for the restaurant's upcoming Thanksgiving dinner today. The place was close to empty. Lynn headed home and I stayed around to listen to the music for a while. The act did not show up and Rufo was obviously not pleased. It will be interesting to see if their lack of respect by not appearing terminates the arrangement these two have to play their regularly.

Mi chica is off to Lilly's for a haircut at 10am then we are cabbing it to Aliza to get the chair he glued for us. Hoping to be back from there by 11:45 so I can get online for our bridge club's first team game. In bridge, there is basically two types of games. One puts a pair of players against another pair. The team game puts a group of four players (called a team) against another group of four that formed a team.

The game we tried to run ay 11:30 here was cancelled ... not enough players registered. Dominique went to pick up a chair we were having fixed after her hair appointment. We were charged 20 pesos for the rung on the back to be properly glued where it had broken. We putzed around the house all afternoon until about 5:45.

We met Lynn upstairs and walked to Rufo's for a special day's dinner. The place was packed and people were coming and going still by the time we left. We cabbed it back home and watched the final episode (turned into a movie) of a series we enjoyed a few years ago called Prison Break.

Dominique tiene una reunión mañana al once. Ella necesita hablar con Hugo y Lynn sobre una autre reunió el sábado al nueve y media. Tengamos planes naturalemente la tarde mañana alrededor cuatro y media. Iramos a la playa principale por cervezas y vino tinto. Entonces comeramos la cena a un sitio cerca de la playa. No estamos ciertos quien veramos aca mañana.

<== Ahora, en inglés ...
Dominique has a meeting tomorrow at 11. She needs to talk to Hugo and Lynn about a second meeting on Saturday at 9:30. We have plans naturally in the afternoon around 4:30. We’ll go to the main beach for beers and red wine. Then we’ll eat dinner at a place near the beach. We’re not sure who we’ll see tomorrow.

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...
