Volume 17 - Day 363/2, 2025 - Monday

Okay, it's Monday in Playa (and other places, I assume) and once again, I slept for more than 8 hours. Weird. I went over and met with Simona, one of the managers at Riviera Maya Suites that also is the property manager for the condo. It has been a couple years since we met, and we are working on a plan for some cosmetic upgrades in the condo. Since I apparently have a fetish for Frida Kahlo, I am going to replace the artwork with art that reflects Frida, and all of it will be done by Hugo, the artist here in Playa that I like very much. Then, we will market the condo as 'The Frida Suite,' and I will also do my best to promote Hugo to guests at the condo. I really want to support local art, and I like Hugo's work. I am not really sure that he needs my help, but it (probably) can't hurt. It was dribbly rain when I got up this morning, and Mike got here this evening, and said it had apparently rained very hard in Cancun, there was still water standing in lots of the roads and getting through was a bit of a problem. Did I mention that Mike is here? We ciphered it, and we have been friends for more than 50 years. I really value that friendship, and I don't think we see each other enough. After Mike got here, we took off and went to dinner, and then walked up and down Fifth Avenue for a little bit. We have a couple things we will be doing tomorrow, but nothing big, just taking it easy. We're in Playa...that's what we are supposed to do.
