Dead cell phone

-

We could not power on Dominique's Mexican cell today. We tried a number of cords and A/C adapters and no luck. We decided to take it with us when we went walking today. We used the boardwalk that ends where the foot bride runs over the canal that takes one to the museum then a bit further to Playa Principal. We stopped at Zihua Bay to ask Rebe if he could recommend somewhere he knew of where we can get her cell looked at.

He turned us on to a store right beside Elektra on the main drag. We left the unit there for an hour and it cost us 680 pesos to get the battery replaced. That's about $55 CAD ... not a bad deal. We went to one of our favourite spots to kill some time ... Cuattro café. We split a dish of chilaquiles and carrot cake on the side. It was wonderful and we could not finish the dish we received in a bowl.

There was a nice crowd at Zihua Bay for my gig tonight. A few of the tables stayed there almost to the end. The music was well received tongith and I saw some tables boogying to the music. Big Yellow Taxi was my first number and I ended the night with Something Stupid by Nancy Sinatra and her Dad, whose name slips my kind.

We were both quite pleased that the cell phone was reparable. She has a meeting tomorrow at 1pm and then we are either going out at about 4:30pm for beverages and dinner at a place close to where we live. Any number of people from Lynn/Ranae (and one friend of theirs) as well as Nancy will/may join us for the festivities. Five days until Michael and Gail get here. Dominique has done a lot of rearranging of stuff to make their bedroom more accommodating. I am sure there will be final touches as the day of their arrival gets closer.

I/we spoke to some of the clients at Zihua Bay ... me to a couple from Wisconsin and then the two of us visited with a pair from Reno Nevada. How's Maggie today, you ask? Well Maggie, you've had quite a day!

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...
