Monday, December 11: Ben Vereen, and Ronald Reagan

Well, after staying past past my bedtime, I set the alarm for a little 

bit later and did manage to squeeze in breakfast and caught the market. Frankford Line 

which was really really crowded. It’s obvious the trains are running behind schedule. 

There was barely any seats and I’m the second stop in the whole train. Fortunately, there were no Wakkamen causing trouble with the doors so it was a smooth ride. 

Anyhow, I got the Mike’s and we started talking and I recalled Ben Vereen and Emmanuel Lewis tap dancing for Ronald Reagan in his 1985 “All-Star tribute to Dutch Reagan.“ was  

one of the most embarrassing things I ever saw. I’ll never forget it.  they have it on YouTube. Please go to the 18:45 mark of the video and you’ll see it. God bless the Internet. Well I found out that in 1981 during Reagan’s first inauguration he dressed up in blackface.  ABC 

pulled the performance off the air for the second part which was him being

 refuse service by Republicans in front of Republicans. It's the tap dancing like a minstrel show. Moving forward almost 40 years to 2023, Oh, and Jack Smith is appealing to the Supreme Court to decide quickly whether Trump can be prosecuted. This is in my 

opinion because Trump is trying to delay the thing to death and I think Jack Smith Smith wants to top court to decide so he can

 proceed with the case. And more depressing news the Texas woman, Katie Cox has left Texas to have her abortion procedure completed. 

At this point I’m sure that that attorney general of Texas will probably call for her to be 

arrested. Yeah that’ll look real good fuck Ken Paxton.!!! It’s 2:30 PM 

and usually I don’t spend all this time with my blog ranting about issues but I just 

couldn’t help myself today. Maybe it’s the caffeine maybe it’s Maybelline I don’t know but anyway sometimes I do that. anyhow, I called 

the Delaware County jury selection number and I need to get out 

of jury duty because Mike has a procedure to do. So Mike and I work together and I he sent a letter an email 

up going to my 4 o’clock yoga class, which is very good. to them so we’ll see what happens then I ended 
Who taught by Byron and Mary and I went back to her place and started planning Christmas stuff so we decided we rent a car for two days to get around during the holiday. Fortunately Christmas Eve is on a Sunday so I we picked the car to rent from Bala-Cynwyd  and then hung out and I crashed cause I was tired.

Monday, April 5: Work Then a 5 Hour Trip to IUP

Yes I got up and got ready to go to work. I really didn’t know what I was going to do after work but I kept thinking about it. I have this  rental car till 
Wednesday at 10 AM and I’d like to use it for a trip because it’s not my car and I can drive as long as possible. Anyhow, I  got a new assignment & took care of that and then took 
 care of most of the work I needed to get done. I put in for a day off and 

 hen I took a nap and ate lunch. I was feeling conflicted all day where I 

 ant to go where are my life’s going etc. etc. I decided I would go to my 

 ld college in Indiana PA. My college is called IUP. Do used to be called the Big Indians when I was there now they’re called  the Redhawks if I’m not mistaken. Anyhow I took a tour and decided
 I’d avoid the tolls because I don’t really feel like spending $15 in tolls. The turnpike is gotten ridiculously expensive I’ve been hearing
 in the paper. It made the trip last longer than five hours. Anyhow I drove and drove. I fortunately brought snacks and super coffee  
with me to help me with the trip. I also 

 ought a cord to plug-in to the USB so I wouldn’t  have my phone die on me and I are in opportune time.

 I wanted to get there before sunset but I got there just as the sun was setting. 

 t was a wandering tour. Took lots of video. I don’t think I’ll ever come back  here unless suddenly I get up with my friend Abby and we go together because 

 t be a lot more fun to go with somebody’s been there. Anyway, I arrive

 there at around 8 PM. I talked on the phone and ordered myself a burrito 
and got a last-minute motel for $67 plus tax I guess. It was out in the middle of nowhere 2 miles from campus  but that was OK. Like Like I said it’s all little little

 bit weird right now for me. I’m glad I took the trip but it was a long one. I got to listen to my music. I went to my old rental on 477 Philadelphia St. That’s the main 

 rag at Indiana PA. It’s still the same. Not much else is I did see our patties. That 
building has been there forever that’s 
 robably about 60 years old at best. It took a while for them to make the 

 urrito but I got my reservation quickly and went straight to my room. I talked on the phone and then crashed really hard
