Friday Night - Who Needs Sleep?

I was invited to dinner and other activities Friday night with the technology
company. They were so incredibly gracious. They were willing to do anything
that I wanted, all 10 or 12 of them, but I thought it was more polite and also
perhaps more interesting to experience their normal routine. I finally learned
what they were keeping me from me - what they really wanted to do was karaoke -
ah ha! It was great - very enjoyable to watch them compete against two other
tables. The loudest table wins a pitcher of beer. Rodrigo was definitely the
loudest -and quite funny to listen to if you can get into a mood of whatever
happens, be in the moment and just enjoy it.

I found all of the folks to be very warm towards one another - not at all
political or unkind in any way - truly enjoying one another’s company and
perhaps, antics to some degree.

We went to dinner after this - Argentinians eat late in the evening, around 9
or 10 p.m. which is fine because lately with five animals, one of whom is a
puppy, and three older animals, my time is limited at night. I often eat later
than 9 p.m., which is hardly healthy if you are not walking it off for two or
three hours later. But in Argentina, you might walk or dance it off for hours
into the night, getting home around 6 a.m
