Well I got up fairly early but since I'm going on a date I decided I'd shave try to figure out what I'm

Men's

wearing today just running to first thing that comes to my mind, and I'm late for the o'clock meeting.

RyBread

That's better than being late for 10:30 AM date. It is windy and chilly but at least the rain is holding off

on the most part so I can walk without having to hold my umbrella. It's a great thing that the pope

19th Near Chestnut

came last week not this week that's for damn certain. That was one excellent meeting. I then went

The 44 Bus

with a few guys to Rachel's and grab myself a quick oatmeal cookie. The rain stopped but it's windy

Entering the Expressway

and chilly. Windy and chilly it's better than rainy that's for sure. But your phones and now I'm picking up the 44 bus. Well there's a lot of people from Korman race for the cure here on City Line Avenue. Well that ended really flat😖 i She wasn't as nice in person as she was when texting.  She was somewhat dismissive the whole time. So I asked directly

Susan Kooman Stuff

She Leaves, I Eat

Leaving La..La Land

to 63rd St. and listen to tunes. Well I just walked 1.8 miles to the train. It's 1:23 PM right now in the train should pick me up around 1:33 PM. It's a very attractive train station and has a shed so 

Walking Along City Ave

if it starts raining I'm still OK. It'll take me in no time to get to downtown. Then I can just catch The bus back home. I think I'll just

St. Joes University

Suburban Side of City Ave

It's now 54° and this will be the high temperature for the entire day. I'm looking forward to getting on the

My Walk to Overbrook Station

comfortable commuter train for a little bit and relaxing for the remainder of the day. I also hope to continue

Transition Saturday November 23

8:37 AM

After staying up late watching the show Law and Order, I arose and had a little breakfast and finished up my blog from yesterday. I was late for the men's at the Ethical Society. Rob was not able to get up and get going so I went by myself.  I did see Mike there and it was sure packed. Afterwards I hung out with a few dudes and then went from 20th St. 3rd and Arch to meet Larry at Starbucks for coffee. We did the 10 at 10:30 which was cool. Afterwards Larry had to go off to Jersey and I had to do and errand at City Line Avenue.

Stay Tuned

While going to TD Bank I had to answer nature's call. In order to get a bathroom I needed to get a key from an employee of Mickey D's.

Hung out here for Coffee

I then bought some McNuggets just to get a key (A 6 piece which they only put 4 in) and of course the guy in front of me decided to live in there. Apparently the 44 bus was running slow so I needed to get the 38 bus. The newfangled SEPTA

app showed there's

At Rachel's

only two buses running. I caught the 38 which was one time at 12:30! I got to my ended location around 1:05 PM

Well  there was change of plans so I took the 44 bus( after a 45 minute wait) to Center City and looked into buying a printer that can print my phone photos! Well, I met with Rob, got his

 phone card

Took it TWICE Yesterday!

and looked at the Apple store, springboard media, and Staples for printers. Staples recommended the $150 HP,the Apple Store  only had one type which was an Epson but they recommended the Brother. Springboard media

A Packed Startbucks at 3rd and Arch

only had one and I think that one I don't remember they just give me a list of top 10

Christ Church

printers range from $150 to $1,000 I'll guess I'm on my own. I then split off from Rob. I visited Pat's and we split a large pizza that Pasqually's.  We both agreed it was very tasty. I then had to beat a hasty retreat to get ready for my

Rob and I at Staples

                      4:46 pm                                                       home to get myself showered shaved and changed for my 

Riding the 38 Busdate. I took the train to Melrose Park and I was picked up and we went to a little restaurant off of

Germantown Avenue.

Nice Date in Germantown

Food was really good and is reasonably priced place. After dinner we went to the Starbucks nearby the Noble train station and hung around and made each other laugh. Next we went to the Melrose Park train station and waited for the 11:20 train. It was cold as anything so we waited in her car next to the station. I went

on the train and ALMOST overslept past 30th Street Station. Man THAT would have really sucked to be out in the frigid cold trying to get back to Philly past midnight on a Saturday on SEPTA! 

When I got home

Rob Mike and I chatted and then Robin I watched three or four episodes of Law and order on Netflix. The boxes worth of I just watch a few lawn order episodes maybe some Simpsons. A busy yet at the end it was a really really good day!

Blurb and Other Life Happenings: 25 April

I went back to sleep working on my book.

I decided to go back to sleep and be late for work. I got up early for meeting and instead bought 2  books by a glass artist I know on Amazon. I found out she made a photo book on a website called

Gee I Wonder Why

blurb.com. Well they this option that you can create your own photo book from your Facebook photos!!
Well I spent over an hour working on my own book of Facebook photos and when I went to save and order it, their server went down! I got a password & account and tried 4 times, I then went back to sleep. I got up at 11 and am just getting to work NOW!

It's 11:31 am.

Fruit Stand Across from My Place on 44th Street

Walnut Street Looking East.

I had a very busy day at the welfare wakka. The day just breezed by cause I arrived about 2 hrs late. I then met Larry for a coffee at Starbucks. The scene was pretty cool and we went to group. It was good we had a dental student join us. She knows another friend of mine. Its a small world after all. I plan to go on a 3rd date

Heading to Starbucks!

Saturday on City Line Ave at the Corner Bakery Cafe at 12:30. Before that I plan to attend the men's meeting. I

Outside Starbucks

hope to have Drew over to gear the apartment for Dean's eventual arrival. I have no idea when he is going to be set free from the clink. Of course the bonehead social worker is not helping much. Oh well no need to rush myself in to an upset. No reason at all
I ended up not going to Dr. Cohen. I just remembered at 11:55 pm tonite. I am good with the meds, I need not worry about that for the time being. I am going to to keep work on making my own photo book with Booksmart .I want to  make a coffee table book that folks can enjoy. Right now its an indulgence that I have been meaning to do for YEARS! That is my passion and I hope I can move forward with it this Summer.

My Place

As for now its Buffalo starting next Weds night for an all night Megabus Trip. Then 2 weeks later its Greyhound to Portland Maine for my friend's 2nd wedding. I checked out the Official Facebook Wedding Page and I appear to be the only person coming from the Philadelphia Area. I was invited to a Goth event that Friday night. Well, THAT ought to be a trip for this 51 year old man to experience. Instead of me scaring the young girls, I think I am going to be the SCARED one for sure.
Good night and be well.
