I also treated myself to some delicious Indian entrees at the New Delhi on 40th & Walnut. I was trying to

 |
| Where the Groovy "Girls Rock" Event Happened |
Well we finished our lunch and I got some leftover grilled cheese sandwich with jalapeno. We walked around City Hall and saw the Comcast building. We took some pictures of City Hall and also visited

I was thinking that maybe I would visit a friend in Massachusetts but they did not respond to that so I think that's out the window.
 |
| Illusions of a Road Trip |
I think my next journey is to the second mile center and see if I can get myself furniture for my apartment.
I'm now at 17th and Walnut I'm going to catch the 21 and go to the second mile Center. As I'm typing this it is 5:03 PM and the bus just stopped at 19th and Walnut. Well I

I got home and I just had the lie down for moment. I might still be sleeping but my phone slipped off the counter and made a huge noise. My upstairs neighbor Rob dropped me off at the 30th St post office where he
was getting mail. I took the EL to get to the market and then walk to six in South. I was going to ninth and south to return the incorrect

Girls Rock Philly at Bean Café
This video shows folks listening to a recording. This recording features instruments such as drumsticks water bowls. from which makes for its unusual sound. My friend Chesire is very much involved.
 |
| What I First Saw at "Girls Rock." |
She teaches drums and administers the program It's pretty groovy. It's at the Bean Café 615 South St. It was recorded on Thursday, July 17.
I very much enjoyed this event. It seems to instill some good qualities that tween girls need as they navigate high school and the

| Art 4 Art's Sake |
peer pressure. I would like to check this out a little more often. My friend Chesire is going to the Czech Republic Germany and another country for a vacation with her husband. She should have real good time for the next three weeks she leaves tomorrow for the Chech republic. Yes, I will admit I had thoughts
of going to Springfield Massachusetts or Portland Maine
for a day. But after looking at the reality of he travel and cost and time it just wasn't going
to really make much sense! My mind and body were getting tired from all the walking I was doing all day and the thought of spending all that $ and exhaustion!!

to go crash and then tomorrow pay some bills and go to a meeting in the morning. I hope to get my "Sunday Fun Day T-shirts I ordered!! :)
to Vermont Saturday. Also getting a ride to the airport since I'm flying there. Well, work was okay I was relaxed and I got a few things
done which is always good. I had a big bunch of green lettuce couple yogurts banana it was a very good lunch. I ended up working late till close to 6 o'clock and got some random stuff done. Yes, Peter and I generally try
to stay late. Check this out somebody told me about a guy with a pet squirrel about a half block on market near my job 57 the market this
is dude line with the squirrel check it out. Well went to therapy and then and then I'm now going 
to the hipsters and flips there's meeting called the underground because I'm here and it's 
8 o'clock. I'm either glutton for punishment or because I'm old and they're not. There's some nice people that meeting 
actually. I might just have to take it as it comes especially the after meeting socializing. 
It almost brings me back to elementary school and junior high.Eew !
band X. They're playing at the Trocidaro! Does bring me back about 25 years. I think it be fun to see them never seen them before. I think another friend of mine wants to 
go. Well after riding the 21 really looking forward to going home eat some leftovers sitting for the computer and feel the air in the incest hit my face.
