of a pain in the butt.

Larry sent me a few texts that woke me up. We made plans for me to meet him has his condo after the Bar None. 

Turned out it was a good meeting and it wasn't nearly crowded

because next week it's supposed to be winter again. I figured that winter wouldn't hit Miami. But that was just me smoking the weed since it's 1.too long to get there and  the tickets are prohibitively

expensive knowing Amtrak.

So now I'm off and back towards West Philly  talk on the phone with my mom and a friend at some point during the walk outside. I'll catch a bus if I happen to see one. I got lucky, a 21 Bus stopped by in time.

Stopped over to see Pat. We ordered out some Indian/Pakistan.it was a vegetarian combo. We just chilled out the rest of the afternoon and early evening. Pat practices drumming and now his guitar.
