Saturday, April 30: Service @ Washington zoo and visiting my brother

Hello I just woke up and I was really really tired. I had to get up by 9 o’clock 

so I can be ready to be picked up at 9:30. Thankfully Wes was running late so I had an extra half hour to wake myself up drink coffee cereal etc. I was really disorganized. 

Good thing I did all my stuff yesterday. We drove down I-95 in route one and
got here pretty smoothly. It’s a good thing Hellen knows and works at the zoo we got a nice little spot to have the service. It is now 2:02 PM is probably gonna start soon  I am reading 



the 23rd Psalm. It’s a nice day outside. Glad it was because I’m not used to the cold here. Anyway, it was a really nice service and I ran into Steve and Peter Sissson
Thomas Stevens and Gwynne. We didn’t really nice time I read the 23rd Psalm and everybody’s gracious and pleasant. It was held in a 

nice pavilion at the Washington zoo. I got time is his number I might visit visit him in Portland. I want to visit people but I haven’t seen a while like Stephen my 

brother in Baltimore etc. We then drove up to Baltimore and the traffic wasn’t as bad as it usually is. We got there pretty early around 5:30 PM. Turns out Mary sister and her boyfriend 

showed up so there was a nice group of us there. Michael made up some 

delicious chicken turkey burgers with Monterey Jack cheese and Sharika. We hung out and talked for a while. I enjoyed

 myself thoroughly really. Wes and I then headed out around 8:30 PM and got back a little after 11. Both of us were pretty tired and we made multiple rest stops along the way.

Friday, April 29: Arrival in Philadelphia

After not sleeping because of really loud snoring old man, I arrived at Philly 

approximately 7 AM. I charged up this phone and got on my way. Airport was busy this morning damn! Of course most people

 aren’t wearing masks. Philly had that debacle of instituting a mask mandate and changing their minds etc. 
last week. Anyhow it’s pretty cold 
outside call used to this but at least it’s not raining! I plan is to catch the 

train to the Mark Frankfurt line and then go home and take a nap then roll out of bed and go to my  10:15 AM dentist appointment. I believe it’s going to be a cleaning today. Well

 I went down in time for the dentist appointment cleaning and Bonita cleaning because there’s a lot of 

blood. She is flossed and brushed and stuff. Jocelyn asked me if I 

search my partials and I said I didn’t so I guess I’m gonna be buying one of those Polident denture cleaner

 things I never thought about that. I generally toothbrush them. After the 

appointment I cash in my refund from the city wage tax and then 

drop myself to a restaurant and I forgot the name of it and had the biggest pancake stack

 I ever had. It was four gigantic five gigantic pieces I couldn’t finish at all. I’m heading

 up now to see Sharon hopefully to be able to get a haircut. It’s now 1:52 PM 

and I just called Uber. Well I did meet up with Sharon we had a nice

 time. I got my haircut and walk to the diner where there’s an old fashion cigarette 

machine. He got some cigarettes and after I got my haircut. I enjoyed

 my time I was starting to get tired and I had told Mike I’d  visit so  I left. I arrived at Mikes and started getting really drowsy so I took 215 minute naps because the jet lag really got me. I then 

went to CVS and got my second booster shot and my Scripps.  I also got a box of cereal and couldn’t find any my drinks nor supercoffee. I got plenty supply at home so doesn’t matter too much. I went back to my place and Pat and we  decided that We would meet at the fume place and get some Ethiopian food for something different. So I dropped off my stuff picked up my mail and headed down to Abyssinia Ethiopian restaurant. It’s an 8:23 PM Pat shed he just left work to meet me here and 43rd and Locust

Thursday, April 28: Flying Back to Philadelphia

Today I woke up after the minor fall out of yesterday and several 
weeks ago. It was a coda of sorts. Anyway, I got up I messed around and drink coffee. I didn’t took a shower so I wouldn’t feel like 

shit during night sitting around at the airport for hours on end. Arrived at the airport via 

the Uber and that went pretty smoothly. I watch some YouTube and got some inspiration and Natsuo inspiration from various 
sources. I’m going back because of Stewart‘s memorial service which is two days from today. Tomorrow’s gonna be a very active day in the neighborhood I fly and go home and then go to a dentist

 appointment and pick up a script. After that  I have got to turn off my location services which I probably

 should do immediately.  it’s now 2:13 PM and departures supposed to be 46 and boarding was supposed to start at 20 one but people are just getting off 

the plane now so we may be running late. Where hung at in Vegas Airport for 4 1/2 hours and it’s 1024 and they’re letting us board 

There is no chance of getting an earlier flight to Philly this is the first flight to Philly in the entire airport. I did get a hoagie 

and tried to eat it was isolated place but I kept having to move because people crock towards me. Really good and tiring wearing a mask for 12 hours. It will 

be the first time I’ll be on the East Coast in quite some time.  We finally left Vegas around 11 o’clock . It was pretty boring. 

May attempt to sleep or – by an old guy would say that he would snore nobody else seem to mind it and I couldn’t get anybody to make them stop so I must’ve slept a tiny bit because anyway that’s that
