Ali was online checking our banking today when she discovered that somebody had spent the day taking a grand or so out of our checking account. It’s getting a little sickening just how often this is happening to us down here. This is the second time in six months and third time overall in Mexico. Usually it’s the credit card, but this time it was the debit card which only gets used for ATMs. Fortunately it happened today and not tomorrow as I expect they would have had a nice two or three week run emptying our account while we were out sailing. It’s always easily taken care of with a phone call or two, but still a big pain in the butt getting a new card to us.

Weather here has been weird. A couple of nights during my mom’s visit she was actually cold in her hotel room. Fortunately like all moms she carries a heating pad wherever she goes so the cold never presents a true challenge to her. Now tonight we are roasting in our beds again wishing that there was some wind or that we owned another fan. Two isn’t enough, three might be just right.

Speaking of moms being moms. We were downtown one day when she said, “Oh look, they’ve got a blahblahblahblah doctor here.” I asked what that was and she told me some obscure doctor detail. I said, “I hope I never know as much as you about doctors and medicines. I don’t even know the difference between Aspirin and Tylenol.”

I really can’t imagine myself aging gracefully. I’ll be that guy with the fifty pound tumor growing out of the side of his chest. “Oh that? That’s nothing. I bumped it when I fell off the ladder. I don’t need no stinkin’ doctor.”

Anyway, wrapped up a bunch of housekeeping chores today and are nearly ready to disappear again.
