April 20

421 Oiwen Road. 

Spring took another break today.It's chilly as crap as I went to the men's meeting late . This was partly due to road construction on Chestnut that has gone on since at least 13 months ago when I used to ride my bike to meetings. Check this webpage out. Its quite interesting in my opinion.

44th Street at 8:15 AM

After the men's meeting, I hung out at  Saxby's with 2 fellows and we had a fun time. Drew called me and ask me to take a ride to the suburbs. We  went to Newtown Square where it's cold  yet the air out here in the suburbs smells good. We went to the local TD Bank where drew got $400 in change counted so  I could  pay the bag-man and see suburban

women in action. After that drew had to go to a local hardware store to pick up a window he was to install on an outside door. When that was completed, we got  lunch at a diner. We then drove the

scenic route back thru West Philly to my place. Drew looked over my living quarters and we set up the place to get ready for Dean's arrival sometime next week. Basically the living/bedroom would be spilt up so that Dean's sleeping area was private  Wires are to be hung that would hold up fabric. So I hope to get to the fabric area of  downtown Philly to find the fabric and make this so.We both got food shopping. We went to Drew's place and  I took a nap. I woke up and had a smoothie and Cayenne Pepper and lemon mix for fat burning. We walked from 17th and

Washington to  3rd and Tasker since the 64 bus got  stuck somewhere. to go. We hung out near the clubhouse there and were

34TH and Grey's Ferry

getting a ride to the to Westbrook Lanes  in New Jersey to go bowling. . It was pretty fun. I bowled a 106 once which is good for me. I found out from Drew it cost only $60 to get your own ball.

I got a 106..

That is nice since most ball have tiny holes and I have to  get ball that have huge holes.  I  walked a bit from 20th & Catherine Streets and caught the 17 bus  to Walnut Street where I caught the 21 back to West Philly. While waiting for the bus, I saw a wedding party leaving a church at 20th and Walnut. They were the cutist couple ( The Bride was just

Love is in the Air

beautiful!!) I went to Pat's and talked a bit and crashed till 3:30 am. I Find My iPhone. Well, the program worked but it told me my phone was in front of the hookah smoke place. I went there and when I walked in to ask if anyone saw a phone, the man said NO! He really wanted me to leave and so I did. The phone was on the floor charging the whole time....!

I LOVE Smoothies

thought I had left the phone on the 21 bus so went to the Apple website to
Tomorrow I plan to meet a friend for coffee around 930 I'll at least when I get home I will have orange juice and seltzer water for myself maybe I will see you.

April 19; A Friday in Spring

Mailed Jury Duty Info

Hello it's so humid spring day I didn't work hard as normal, I plan to go to my friend Matt's wedding on May 18th. I bought a round-trip ticket for $130 on the Greyhound website.  I mailed my jury duty survey. (see photo) after holding on to it for 3 days. I have that event on May 14th. I just was picked last September 19th. Heck that is ONLY 7 months ago. I mean they ran out of potential jurors already! I sent texts to 2

15th and Market

women I could meet up with hang out possibly. I plan to meet one for dinner at 6 in Ardmore. other than that I'm not sure what is going on this coming weekend.

Construction on Chestnut Street

After work went to Shoppers Special. Some human was very upset

A Hand Sketch

cause his mom died and the house he was going to stay burned to the ground. Several fellows reached out to comfort him. I met up with Drew. We went to a place called More then Ice Cream and discussed the state of women and New Jersey. We decided not to go see a movie, since the next showing at the Ritz 6 was going to be 9:30, Caught the 21 back to Pats and he gave me a hand, a SKETCH of a hand that he drew

Saxby's

. He

Paul Roberson Marker

did not post it on Facebook since he did not like the way it came out.  We then eventually fell asleep and I got up, walked home in the rain and sow that the police CAUGHT the 2nd Boston Marathon bomber. That whole city was under a lock down all day. It looked like martial-law with tanks and armored cars rolling up the streets. Some wacko will use the video t show that the dictatorship is near! I do admit the footage was eerie!

Spring Fever:It's Real!

The Best Bar of All!

It was Thursday April 18th 2013 went well thus far. I got a volunteer for greeter tomorrow! I made the "freshman" team! Yup the Captain said so! LOL.

Yummy!

Work was OK as far as anybody could tell. I left early at 3:30 for an appointment, then went  to the Apple store at 5:15. I needed help for my iPhone earphone.Well at the Genus Bar it took the tech about 10 min to FIX the earphone. I found out that all iPhones have a one-year warranty and my repair was FREE!!! Next I would decide to go to group or hang with Larry and Drew

Outside My Kitchen April 18

Updated group was far out!! Towards the latter part  the group discussed how and  what relationships form and why people are attracted to others. and how they forecast relationships and how sometimes the person you instantly attracted to isn't always the best

one for a person.  I couldn't help but think about certain women in in and out of AA. It was enlightening. A  woman in the group was saying she makes  friends and then loses them and this reminded me of folks  that I know so wow.  After the group, met Larry and Drew for hanging out and some ice cream. It was frozen yogurt custard for me. It was some fun food!

Leaving

Hi Lexi

Yeah,  spring is really here now after a few false starts and delays there is life is coming back. Possibilities aren't   in the back, they are in the here and now! Ah, it was a good good week for me and I am thankful.

Kaliff by Pat.

April they say is the Cruelest month.Its the month of domestic terrorism.  Its been the month of Columbine, Oklahoma City Waco and now Boston.  April is that a very transitional month for the atmosphere  and the weather can be stormy, wet and cold. Yet, the on its nicest days the weather is so sweet, that it makes me feel like I am in love. Its   it does seem to be like woman,  brisk. sharp and sweet.  the winner but you feel the warmth all around  God only can do my closing is prepare your mind to be blown it that's about it sled base and let it happen and God willing we will persevere and see our dreams come true. I did publish this in a rough form so the date published would be April 19th instead of the crack of dawn April 20th.

The Day After: April 16 2013

Work Breakfast!

Today was one interesting day I got my report 90% done at work. I then went directly to the TD Bank so I could help a friend in need. This worked out since it was such  a beautiful day!!

After going to the ;bank, I decided to go to a new coffee place called Coffee Joe. There I met.a nice woman who needed a few stirring straws since Coffee Joe did not have them.

44th and Walnut

It took going to 3 places but she appreciated my help.. We ended up walking till her Stepfather appeared to tell her she had to get home I went to the meeting and met up with Drew then Drew and I went to a Indonesian restaurant called Banana Leaf. It has the best chicken curry soup EVER. I then caught the 21 home.

Looking Ahead

afternoon I was in touch with the social worker who got my papers I just figured out solutions my phone for the time being I will get a Bluetooth and be able to your my calls the Bluetooth I don't like the Bluetooth because it makes it feel like I'm on Star Trek and I am Dr. Spock lookin like a geek. I have an appointment at the Apple Store to have them look at it after the meeting with Charlie. I will see what my options are about what to do about the coffee damage I did to my  phone speaker.

I then went home and took a nap. On the way to Pat's, I got a call from B Arth.  She knew some of the folks from high school and she went to Ardmore Jr. High back in the day. She told me about her adventures hanging with the popular jock kids in Ardmore. She understands recovery  and  about "spacial relations" problems as a kid just like

Well Congress laid a BIoG FAT goosegg today. The US Senate failed  to approve expanding background checks It passed by a vote of 54-46 BUT all votes have to have 60 votes to pass this expansion of gun background checks.

Monday :terrorism, Taxes, Tired

Tired

Good morning peeps it is Monday and we have very tiny raindrops is about 7:15 AM had a good time with you last night and have me meet somebody that ought to be interesting but I'm running a little way to the meeting Chris I just missed the 21 and I have a project that's due today that's going to be interesting. I had help and I may be able to get this project mostly done.It was really a difficult day to work being really tired.

My Desk

I still  worked till about 7pm.  I did catch a break, my Supervisor left early and the due date is tomorrow, Tues April 16th first thing in the AM.
There is talk again of changing my employer's name Pa Department of Public Welfare by removing WELFARE from its name. Did you know that Pennsylvania and Idaho are the ONLY 2 states that still have the "welfare" in their human services departments. The reason it has not

been done already is that it will cost MONEY!! Well, ain't that convenient? Other states have managed to survive the name changes, why can't Pennsylvania??

Artists At Work

I was a Pat's eating dinner and napping while he was creating a

sketch of his hand. When he was done, it was 11:45pm! I had take photos and split! It ended up that Pat did not find his sketch to his satisfaction.I was just going to have to  file my state income tax  late and pay the

Before my 7:30 Nap

 penalty. Well, when I sat down with my W-2 at 12:05am, I got a message that the deadline was EXTENDED 24 hours!! WOW, now that is my God looking out for my tired butt! I found out that the State of Pa Revenue Department was having problems with their server  and this is the reason for the extension.  I managed to file but later when I checked out the E-File page I got this:

IMPORTANT: Due to technical issues that prohibited residents from accessing commonwealth websites including the Department of Revenue website and tax filing resources for a few hours on April 15, the department will not impose penalties or interest on personal income tax returns filed on or before Tuesday, April 16.

As you can see this was true!  I owed $ 1.00 so I did not have to write a check since I owed a dollar or less!! Boy that was quite the break that I needed!

Coffee Anyone?

PHS Garden at 19th & Walnut

Today will most noted as the day that a terrorist attacked the Boston Marathon! I just saw video of the explosion as it happened! There were 2 explosions 15 seconds apart!! Here is the latest as reported by the BBC as of 1:45am April 16th. This is sure to be the biggest story for the next month for sure. They are pretty damned sure that THIS was a terrorist attack. Rumor has it that they have a Saudi man under guard at a Boston hospital. As of this writing, this is NOT confirmed

Don't understand life. I want a frisbee.
