Thursday, July 2: 100°! Hot 🥵 Philly & Millbourne

Good day everybody. It is hot and sweltering here in Philadelphia. That is the main thing about today. It’s 2:46 PM and it officially is 100° in Melbourne anyhow I started my day with breakfast at the Dorchester and then I went and went to the barber and got my haircut. I also got my face shaved with an electric razor, which felt really good. I then tried to go to the park café and they were closed temporarily due to the factory AC went on the fritz and they had to install a new AC. So I went to this other place which I forgot the name of. This place is really small and super hip and groovy everybody there is young and studying or being cool and shit. I stayed in there in order a breakfast sandwich, which was tasty a little bit small but it was gave me the egg and sausage protein that I wanted for a really hot day. Got to hang out there for a while. I decided I’d visit Mike and Mike at their place. I figured what the heck at least say hi hang out say hi without having to lift a finger. At first, Mike wasn’t there so I just talked to Mike WARD and things seem to be very much in order which is nice. Then Mike Ciul came out and we talked for a while. They’re very good conversationalist. Then I finally headed out to Millbourne to take care of business and hang out with Pat. I picked up my beach towel from the Yoga place in Amsterdam. Got a cup. I needed and picked up some mail most of it. I ended up throwing out. Went to Pat’s place upstairs hung out and he had cleaned up his place a little bit. He has this week off on vacation. He’s going to be able to resign from the job that he has to stay overnight for. They’re laying them off & giving him severance so that’s good. He also got a nice check from an inheritance, which is really good so now he can live a better life for himself and do some of his hobbies he likes to do. It’s now 2:49 PM we’re crawling along on the edge which fortunately the AC is working and I’m gonna try to get the Mary before 3:30 PM to get ready for Yoga believe it or not. Well, it became obvious going to 4 o’clock class was unrealistic considering we just both got in so we’re gonna pick up our Amazon delivery and mellow out for a minute and then go to 6 o’clock 75 minute class with Mia. why we are getting ready to go Mayor got a pain in her knee a very sharp pain and the doctor is out till the end of next week so we went to urgent care and thousand experience. Went through three different people, but she did get a referral and just told to relax her knee and there was nothing awful showing up on the x-ray, which was good. Then came back and mellow it out and then we ordered some Indian.

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.
