D-day maybe

The wreckoning hour approaches ... yes there is no such word, but the future of the condominium building/association rests on the shoulders of the pending AGM We will have to come to grips of the fringe taking over the management of the grounds or the sane side of the owners not allowing the building and grounds to be wrecked. There have been ongoing discussions about how to proceed at today's meeting.

Ben and Crem are heading back to Toronto early afternoon. It has been quite a rush having them here. They face the enormous task of moving from their separate places to one in the same alongside Maddie and Isaac. Some of the characteristics of their new abode excite the little ones. They have hired a mover that will do the packing as well which should partially diminish an daunting task.

The outcome of the AGM today, if it indeed transpires, hopefully will allow the likes of Dominique, Ranae, and Lynn some well deserved peace and quiet. This is supposed to be a restful and pleasurable time in Zihua but due to the turmoil caused by the fringe, often it has been anything (everything?) but that. Not totally, but enough to sour many days since our October 10 arrival. Tomorrow marks four weeks left in this lovely burg.

Still cannot get over the volume of attendees at Zihua Bay last night. I plugged the charity we raise funds for many times. With so many people there, a take of about 390 pesos was disappointing.

The AGM did not happen as they did not have quorum. Dominique is attending a meeting shortly in Leo's unit with the gang to discuss strategy I would imagine for tomorrow's planned get together.

Once upon a time there was a little boy named Wallace. He was quite caught up in himself ... even though he was in his 50s, he was a little boy based on his outlook on life. He insisted on doing whatever he wanted wherever and whenever he wanted, regardless of whether it made sense to anyone around him. Wallace once decided to attend a meeting and whenever something came up that he did not like, he objected and spouted one law after another. He finally met his match one day when at a meeting. Someone disagreed with him and spouted laws to shoot down what Wallace was proposing. Wallace took his toys and went home. Reminds me of the saying ... whatever goes around comes around. Normal disclaimers apply ...  any resemblances to any person living or dead is purely coincidental.

Tomorrow's meeting is again at 9:30am. This time, quorum becomes 51% of the owners rather than today's 75%. And now the $64,000 question ... guess who just arrived:

  1. The mayor of Zihua
  2. Paul McArtney
  3. Joni Mitchell
  4. Carol King
  5. Ranae Rahn
If you guessed #5, brilliant ... she has been here today more than the last 3 weeks together. I'm not complaining ...

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...
