'Twas quit a week

-

The kids are back in TO safe and sound. We had a lovely time at Kris and Paul's abode for dinner last night with Lynn and Ranae as well. There was a discussion about considering converting the empty room on the bottom level to a guest suite. Dominique was not aware that there were two bathrooms down there across from the room. We went on a tour. She was surprised that after seven years here, she had not known about their existence! We discussed how the room could be set up and how there could be a damage deposit for unforeseen problems with the room. The discussion headed towards the owner whose guests were using the room would be responsible for providing all the assorted accoutrements. As well we discussed having a queen bed frame there and the owner would have to supply a blowup mattress. Very preliminary ...

AGM attempt #3 for Dominique at 9:30 today. We are desperate to walk somewhere today as we have not been out of the complex for the last two days except for her trip to Soris on Thursday. Wonder if Wallace will experience the same fate as he did in my short story posted yesterday.

The meeting wrapped up in a mere 3½ hours and my girlie was worn out. A while after she got home she went to meet Ranae to discuss the plans for tomorrow. That is what is supposed to be the last portion of the AGM. This is the longest meeting ever having started on February 17 and still going on March 16, not to end until tomorrow.

She is chatting with Dianna of Donny and fame. They leave for home in very late March. We will see them at least once before their departure. The pool was very busy today as it usually is when there are lots of renters. I have spent more time crunching the numbers about other places to stay in Mexico and the goods and bads of renting this place in Z.

We did not get out today but hope to do something tomorrow. We will meet at Doña Licha after her church service finishes at 10:15 or so. Not sure what else we will be able to do what with the noon meeting of the AGM wrapup (ya right). We will celebrate Hugo's birfday on Tuesday upstairs in Renae's place. We got him a Hugo Boss t-shirt, appropriate as he was/is the "boss" of this condo pretty much ever since it opened in 2017.

Had a lovely dinner of leftovers then watched the telly. Three episodes of that fab Brit comedy called Cold Feet. Then I watched the inside of my eyelids as she watched an episode of M*A*S*H.

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...
