Tuesday, January 27: McGee Rehab, Choir Risers, & Yoga

Well today I got up around eight had breakfast then I called LIFT and they were charging 28 bucks for the trip so I went down there to pick it up 

and suddenly the driver wasn’t there so I had to wait another eight minutes for a second drive to show up so I was 20 minutes late. I was very fortunate that the lady saw me right away and had no problems since it looked like it was lightly attended. there are a lot of people didn’t show up due to the remnants of the snow. I was gonna catch the seven, but it blew right by just when I was coming out of McGee and I caughtthe 64 abroad and Ellsworth and walked to Mike’s. Well, I warmed up at Mike’s as I should’ve. I’ve then decided to have lunch and have a juicy and some coffee and that’s what I did. It’s now 1249. I’m tracing through the snow heading to help out with moving risers. Mike called this morning. I called him back and he stated that he would not be going home today as he previously thought for a minute. He will be transported by ambulance,
but there are concern they won’t be able to deliver him due to the street conditions, which is ridiculous. So at least he’s not coming home today, which is actually convenient for me today cause I’m supposed to help out with clearing risers at 1 o’clock today. Apple has an update for iOS 26. this update will enable folks in Australia with older iPhones to make a 911 emergency calls. I’m not sure it does anything else but I think that’s pretty funny. A very specific group of people. By the way it’s summer in Australia now. Temperature is in triple

digits, Fahrenheit, and 51°C.  Someone we know in Yoga his son Harrison Fishman directed an HBO reality series called neighbors. I https://m.imdb.com/news/ni65678526/ think he wrote it too. Well, I did go ahead and help with clearing the risers that was quite a job. There were 6️⃣ of us there in total. Maybe only 5️⃣ of us there. We first moved the risers to the van and then 2️⃣ of us drove the van and 3️⃣ of us took Uber to the storage place in Grace ferry. Guy was nice enough to pay for the $$11 fare. Anyhow, we got the storage 

place and had to take out bins first to fit in the risers. It was quite a job. Those risers are heavy. I had to be really careful not to hurt myself. I can tell him not the strapping  l 30-year-old I used to be but I did OK after that. I went to Mary’s and went to Tina‘s 4 o’clock class. I was pretty stiff but I did OK. Tina is a really good teacher. She’s very encouraging. After that, I didn’t have to go to choir, but because I found out from the folks, I was with  that the rehearsal was canceled due to the weather. It’s going to get really really, really frigid this coming weekend Friday and Saturday are gonna be the coldest days and in several years. Mary and I then had some Indian and watched a couple episodes of Law and order. Mike is 

supposed to get out of the  hospital tomorrow. He said 9:30 AM but I doubt that’s gonna happen.

Sunday, November 23: Visiting Mom w/ Mary

We got up around 9:00 AM Go out to get breakfast and head out to my mom’s house via Uber. Went to heart of catering café, and it was crowded because

of them in Philadelphia marathon. We waited a while because of the marathon and we can order takeout and end up eating and splitting us 

breakfast of bagel and turkey sausage, which was very good. We then caught an Uber and the guy showed up real quick. This guy told us that the

space forces actually created in 19 in the 1950s, 1952 because the aliens crashed in Roswell. It gets even more bizarre. He said he was abducted by aliens when he was 14 years old and that’s why he 

was put on the space force he brought up a couple conspiracies. One of the conspiracy theories was General Eisenhower exchanged human lives, so we could get alien technologies, such as cell 

phones.  He also told us about project blue beam, which is made up by a conspiracy theorist from Canada. All very interesting. We arrived at Riddle Village around 11:40 AM.. We’re waiting for David 

to come over and we’re gonna visit mom. We almost missed our bus stop because we were looking up stuff on the Interwebs. call David Mary

and I visited mom. She looked pretty good. We hung out and talked to her for a bit. The TV was on and we put the TV on so she can watch. The Eagles 🦅 play Dallas at 4:25 PM. Dave, Mary and I met Debbie at a coffee shop in media. Dave was nice enough to treat us to an Arnold Palmer 

on my part and a for Americano for Mary. we had a nice time. We hung out and talked a little bit. Haven’t been to this coffee shop in media 


before. I usually go to the Ocean City Coffee and Dave will drop me off there and I’ll catch the trolley. Mary and I then caught the trolley which was 

running instead of the bus, thank God. We then rolled to 69th St. went straight to the market Frankford line back to Mary’s place. Once we arrived at Mary’s place, I charged my phone and we hung 

out and talked for a little bit and relaxed. We talked about our trip to California coming up next week for Thanksgiving. Next time got really lucky and caught the 21 bus five minutes after I 

arrived at the bus stop. Boy I was   lucky indeed. I then tried to fix the printer to no avail andthinking about packing my suitcase. The Eagles 🦅 totally choked and gagged and lost to the Cowboys 28 to 21. They blew a 21 to 7 lead in the second



 half oh my God, people are losing their goddamn minds.
