and the former roommates mail was tied up on the screen door so I just walked back to my old place.

View from 4405

I did get the mail exactly where you said it was. interesting thoughts in my mind now. Is it like 1992 again?

Lost Mail

When  I'm enjoying my life then I just jumped out of it into something else. I hope I listen to friends this time around. I decided to walk and hopefully make it 22nd St. Fortunately the 42 bus came just in time I would've missed the 12:41 AM route 7

Walking by Drexel

bus. It came about a minute early and that would've been sad and cold. So I'll get home about 50

COLD!!!

minutes later but I did at least get the last of the junk mail from 4405 Sansom.well I came home and watch the little Bellmore and turn on my electric blanket to keep warm. Well I did a little searching on the Valley Forge Pl. and it sounds like a big old scam so I'm gonna blow those people off you can read that here. 

Route 42

It is really cold and it's supposed to remain cold and we might have a nice snowfall Sunday. 

March 15th Sleepy Saturday with Wants and Needs

Going to the 46th Street EL

Good morning wish I say good afternoon. It is 12:15 PM Saturday, 15 March the Ides of March. I first got up at 10:38 and went back to sleep. I'm now at the L going

Train Arrives

to be going up to N. 3rd St. to meet somebody to get my backpack back. I left the backpack at a meeting this past Tuesday.

And then one city for a moment. Day. My computer and then

N 3rd Street Old City

when iconoclast meeting Wayne for. That appears to be the plan for the rest of the day.

You just read the landlord about the toilet and had to make a comment about the window being

open. I'm now home organizing my pictures and deciding whether I'll go out to Wayne or not and

Coming Above Ground

charging my phone of course. Well I fixed up yesterday's blog post to made it prettier. My phone has 26% charge and I need to go to 30th Street to get the Paoli Train to Wayne to the Griffen Cafe. Its a pretty

nice place. At least the weather is MUCH nice then it was a month ago.

Hello The 3:49PM Paoli Local was 15 minutes late. I has to conduct why you said to puke. Yes it is St. Patrick's Day

This is St Patrick's Day on the Train

 weekend a lot of people train wearing the green. I should be done by 4:30.           Well I made it to the Griffen Café around

4:45 PM. 3 folks

were already there. So all four of us had a nice discussion I shared my religious experience in high school as a strange experience.
We all shared our strange experiences. We had

nice coffee as well. Around 630 we were politely asked if we could leave the upstairs area because this young college girl was having a special time with her boyfriend. It was

kind of cute. Yes  we just moved

downstairs and grab the front table. 

I left the café to catch the four 7:40 PM train. But due to the revelers of St. Patrick's Day and barf the train was late. It was nine minutes late. It was a good thing because I initially left my backpack at the café. I was able to run back to the café pick up my bag and still had 45 minutes to spare. Train was 

Soup at Bananna Leaf

packed with St. Patty revelers especially 15th St. lot. Where I just saw tons of loading on to the train. It was quite a sight to see on a Saturday afternoon. I was just taking all in for sure.

pages. We agreed we would meet at the Bar None tomorrow.
I then caught the 21 bus back home where I watched an episode of Law and Order. Life is good I just need to understand my Needs vs. my Wants. That is the question as the Winter of 2014 makes its last run tomorrow night and Monday. We may see some snow wind and cold. 

A day with the weather broke 2-19

46th Street

Hi. Maybe that is going a little bit too far but comparatively speaking you can actually feel with spring in the air freezing rain the morning and snow melting right now at 5:26 PM.

Pat's RC Planes

At work I was stuck doing just dumb stuff to take up a lot of time so I didn't get as much done as I'd like. Now I'm planning to go to pats

around 630 and record stuff. I'm a little nervous guy think I might have deleted some of the programs to record with when I

was running out of room on my camera.

Going to pack and hanging out. Lots of search follows there and then fell asleep. There was no recording made time to say good night.

February 6: Cold Aftermath of Ice

Greetings from the frozen tundra of Philadelphia. All the slush has turned into a bone hard menagerie of ice. We are opened on

City Hall 7am

time today and I'm going to have my second cup of coffee. So many people have no power including Amy.

I have an appointment at 3 PM today and then meeting a friend and then a bunch of stuff.Well I will not be seeing Buster the place

At La Columbe 9am

does not accept my plan. So I got to work a full day today. I got quite a bit done and I got a message about Emily the dog.

57th Street 5:15

"Mark I am coming home Friday evening, not Thursday.  Please walk Emily Friday morning.  I will not be home until 7 or 7:30 so Emily will have to be let out by you or if you arrange with one of the students to let

her out in the late afternoon.  No one comes to let her out Friday afternoon.  Let me know if you

Heading to Center City After work

take care of this.  Thanks hope all is well." 

One more day...Horaay!?!?

Well off to my doubleheader Thursday. Group 1030 doctors appointment and maybe meeting a friend in between eight and 1030. Stay tuned.

Green Line

I went to group and then hung out at the Midtown III DIner and had good conversation. My friend Bill has a Co-op in Center City and it sounds like a nice way to live. No condo

fees are charged and that is nice. He did have to get approved by a Board of Directors. I than got the 38 Bus to 24th and Pennsylvania Ave. for my 10:30 PM Psych Apt. After that I got the 38, and

Near 44th and Lancaster Ave

the 31 Bus to the 10 trolley to 63rd and Malvern Streets to Overbrook 

While  I was on the way back from the Art Museum area catching 3 different buses and trolley, We talked for awhile. I wish we could do it more. It was an interesting day for sure. This Winter has been quite rough. We have had 40 inches of show

this year. The ice storm shut down 50% of the power in the suburbs. It was rough since I had to do all this running around from Center City, West Philly and Overbrook. I feel I am NEVER home. I am looking forward to no pet sitting jobs and no roommates.

Emily Late at Night

I think hope I can get motivated when Dean moves out. He will move out no later than July1st 2014.. I was having a 3-way conversation with Wes and Stuart. We discussed topics ranging from the NSA to Microagression. It was a good time and I felt much better, Winter is here and there is not much any of us can do about it
