Wednesday, July 1: Flying to Philly

Good day everybody Mary & I managed to wake up at 5:30 AM. We got ready. Woke up Alice at 6 AM and Alice drove us to the airport. She was pretty chatty even though she told us she wouldn’t be in the mood to talk, but that’s OK. Mary was able to hold up the conversation. I was too uncomfortable feel weird to even contribute much anyway got to the airport on time went through all the hocus-pocus and then I waited a half hour for my super my iced coffee we were lifting off on time is now 9:21 AM and we’re heading for 4 1/2 hour flight with a bunch of kids and Wimbledon is on no Well, we were gonna takeoff but we got in the back of the line to lift off so we got delayed a little bit. At least they remembered to bring the food on this airline ha ha. Money out 10:16 AM and managed to get on the American Airlines free. WiFi was just contacting me that he’s getting a haircut with Sharon and didn’t get to visit Mike’s cause there are too many people in the house. I again invited him to come for the day at Alice and Marion our place. Will be going there on Saturday. Well, the Plane arrived “early” and it’s 6:10 PM. We’ve been waiting here about 15 minutes while they unload the bags they’ve taken their sweet time probably because the weather is so hot must be really hot on the tarmac. We got lucky Mary’s bag was the first one actually the second one out of the plane so we were able to get out fairly quickly. Then we caught an Uber in a truck a Dodge truck I never heard of. Oh the Colorado.. We got back to a lot of traffic and saw a car burning on fire while we’re at it. We then got back in and watched the World Cup while we were driving the Uber where Belgium beat Senegal 3 to 2. The US is playing Bosnia & person Nigo.They almost scored in the beginning of the game and the US was 
putting a lot of pressure. We then had a fire alarm go off so we had to leave and we went to Royal Indian and picked up the food around 904 and found out the fire alarm was a false alarm. Thank you by the way the US scored while we were waiting for our food to cook. They’re leading one to nothing. Will the US got a red card so they were down a man for 30 minutes and they managed to score another goal by Tillman on a free kick which was a brilliant shot over the wall and to the right of the goaltender. Really intense game glad we got home in time to watch the whole thing.

Tuesday, June 30: Last Day in Poway

Hello boys and girls. Today was a big time relaxing day here in Poway, California. We got up around 11 AM and pretended to sing songs but we didn’t. We had a nice full breakfast of eggs, toast, cereal, and a banana. I was feeling better digestive wise and afterwards I found out that I wasn’t doing errands at 7 AM with Alice.  Alice didn’t wake me up, which was a blessing actually cause that would’ve made me very tired. Anyhow, Mary and I relaxed at home and chilled out for hours on end. It was very nice to just do nothing for a long time that hasn’t happened to me long time anyhow have to relax for a while. Alice finished work and then she and I went out to do a couple errands. One of them was to pick up Becky‘s car but the place was locked and then we went to a car wash and got her car washed. Next, we picked up food at my niece‘s favorite Mexican restaurant in Poway and picked and picked up a bunch of food and came back and ate it. It was very delicious Alice then had to go out and do rounds at the Hospital and Mary and I just hung out and talked for a bit then it was getting after 10 PM and it was time to think about getting the last moment shower and making sure I was packed correctly. The Supreme Court defended the 14th amendment by verdict of 6–3. Three of the conservative wanted to overthrow birthright citizenship they were Thomas, Alito and Goic. And conservatives are acting like the 14th amendment of brand new thing when it’s over 100 years old.

Monday, June 29: 2nd Day in Poway

Good day everybody once again Maryann I slept in till close to noon today. Which is OK cause we had no real plans and I had to deal with certain issues. Anyhow, Mary and I decided we would go shopping at target and a place called famous footwear you know where infamous footwear goes to die! So we we looked around for a while and Mary I think Found the ideal pair where the shore. We took a nice walk back and and we decided that we will be eating as soon as Alice took a shower because she’s gonna go round after we eat dinner by the time she gets back it will be too late to eat at any regular restaurant. Yeah both of us don’t want to be eating at In-N-Out Burger again not that it was horrible, but you don’t wanna do that more than once a week at the most. We talked to Alice and it was decided by sheet rather than rent sheets that we’re gonna cost $150 which is absolutely absurd when you can buy them for $11 online. That’s what Alice did. Mike and Mary and David and Debbie are at the shore at LBI. There were some nice pictures of the sunset they took because it’s three hours or later there than it is here. Phillies are about to blow a 50 lead in or losing 8 to 7 to the pirates. Aaron Nola kind of gagged and or Enfield made an error over through first base wasn’t pretty. We’re gonna go out to a Chinese restaurant in Poway now. What are Chinese food was very good. Had a definite 1970s decor as Alice said. We chow down and we treated Alice to dinner. We then came back. Alice went to work and Mary and I just chilled out for a while. I’m going to really miss this nice weather because the day we come back is when the heat wave starts in Philly where the temperature is gonna be over 100° for two days straight
